Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Russet potatoes, baked (or 5-6 potatoes)
  • 1 large yellow onion, diced
  • 2-3 tbsp butter (I used salted butter)
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable stock
  • 3 4 ounce cans diced green chile
  • 1-2 4 ounce cans diced jalapeno
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon white pepper
  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup cream or sour cream
  • salt*, to taste

Instructions

  • Scoop the baked potato from the skins and set aside.
  • Add 2-3 tablespoons of butter to a large Dutch oven over medium heat and let melt. Add finely diced onion. Cook until onions are softened, 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Add 4 cups chicken or vegetable stock, 3 (4 ounce) cans diced green chiles, 1-2 (4 ounce) can(s) diced jalapenos, 2 teaspoons garlic powder, and ¼ teaspoon white pepper to the Dutch oven. Bring to a simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low and buzz with a stick blender. I don’t go for perfectly smooth as I like it a little rustic.
  • Add 1 ½ cups cheddar cheese and stir until melted.
  • Bring the heat back up to medium (a gentle simmer) and add the baked potatoes. Continue cooking for another 10 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to low and stir in ½ cup cream or sour cream.
  • Serve. Garnish with shredded cheese or bacon bits.

Notes

*You may not need to add salt depending on the amount of sodium in the chicken or vegetable stock you use.
