- Heat the oil and butter in a large saucepan. Add in peppers, onions, and carrots and saute/fry slowly for 5 min. Stir in the stock, add in the diced potatoes, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30 min.
- Remove from heat and puree in a blender, solids first to get a smooth texture. Return to the pot. Add in the cream and season with salt to taste.
- When ready to serve, bring to simmer and stir in the cilantro. Ladle into oven-proof bowls, top with 2 tortilla chips, sprinkle with cheese, and run under the broiler. Top each bowl with a cilantro leaf and take to the table.
- Serve to 4 people as a spectacular and hearty first course.
- Comments: This Tex-Mex creation is a lot healthier than it tastes - and is even more so if you substitute yogurt for the whipping cream. It's gloriously thick and rich, with a nice balancing kick. Thanks to Professor Vincent Tocci, American University, for introducing me to this.
