This recipe is from my old, tattered and stained copy of Simply Colorado. I received this cookbook during the Christmas of 1993. This can be prepared as stated in the recipe, as a lighter soup, or with chopped, sauteed chicken breast added in for a heartier meal. Of course, it's better the longer it cooks, and/or the 2nd day.
Green Chili Soup
Cooking Spray
1 med onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp pepper
1/8 tsp dried whole oregano
3 medium boiling potatoes, cleaned adn cute into small cubes
1 (7 oz.) can chopped green chilies
1 (49.5 oz) chicken broth (about 6 c)
3 oz reduced-fat Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
Coat a 2 quart saucepan with cooking spray; add onion and garlic and saute over medium heat for about 5 minutes until onion wilts. Stir in cumin and pepper; continue to cook 2-3 minutes or until onion starts to show signs of browning. Add oregano, potatoes, green chilies and chicken broth. Bring to a boil; cover and simmer 45 minutes. Serve hot with cheese sprinkled
Comments: I find this a tad spicy, which I personally love. Just note that if you or your family doesn't like spicy things. We like to eat this with a jalapeno cheddar bread (Krusteaz bread maker boxed goodness) and a salad. Or, let's be honest: lots of cheddar bread and butter. Forget the salad. ;)

Yummy in the tummy.
It sounds very good, and I like the mention about the old stained cookbook - those are the best!
When I pull out a recipe or come to a page in a cookbook that has stains on it, I'm reminded that it's a favorite and it was made with love!
:)
I love green chilies. I am definitely going to have to try this now that colder weather has arrived!
This sounds unbelievably good!!! I am adding this to my "to cook" list. Yummy!!!
That actually sounds delicious. Happy Haunting.
Oh.. that sounds like a happy tummy recipe!!!
Oh yum!! Green chili anything is great. I lived in New Mexico for a bit and that's the home of the best green chilies on the planet!
Mmmmm-mmmm. This is one of the most popular soups around here, but surprisingly, I have never made it. I think your recipe just inspired me. We love spicy things, too - perfect.
This soup sounds so comforting on a cold night. Jeremy and I will have to try (don't think the boys will will like it b/c they do not do spicy). I will let you know what we think. Thanks for the recipe.
