Caldo de Queso Ingredients

Method

Caldo de Queso Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broth

    In a large pot, bring the vegetable broth to a boil over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Cook the Potatoes

    Add the diced potatoes to the boiling broth and cook for about 10 minutes, or until they start to become tender.

  3. 3

    Add Corn and Zucchini

    Stir in the corn pieces and diced zucchini, and continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  4. 4

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a separate skillet, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  5. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the sautéed onion and garlic mixture to the pot with the broth and vegetables. If using, add the chopped jalapeño for some heat.

  6. 6

    Finish with Cheese and Cilantro

    Stir in the crumbled queso fresco and chopped cilantro. Allow the soup to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.

  7. 7

    Season and Serve

    Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Squeeze in the lime juice before serving for added flavor. Serve hot.
