JALAPENO POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• In a pot, melt butter and add leeks. Sauté for about 5 minutes on medium heat, stirring occasionally.
• When ready, increase the heat to high. Add diced potatoes, jalapenos, caraway seeds, salt, pepper and stock. Stir, cover with lid and bring to a boil. After, reduce the heat to low and simmer until the potatoes are cooked (about 10 minutes).
• Finally, stir in cheddar and heavy cream. Cook for about 2-3 minutes before turning off the heat completely. Blend until smooth with immersion blender and taste. Add more seasoning, if needed.
• Top with fried pancetta/bacon or cheese or jalapenos.
• Best served warm with bread or dinner rolls.

JALAPENO & POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• Melt the margarine in large pot and saute chopped onions on medium heat. While they're sauteeing, start peeling cutting up your potatoes.
• Once the onions have turned clear, add the potatoes, chicken broth, and cumin. Stir and bring to a boil. Then cover, reduce heat to medium, and allow the potatoes to cook until they soften enough to eat (about 20 minutes).
• After the potatoes have cooked, remove the pot from the heat and add the chopped jalapeños, a pinch of baking soda, and the evaporated milk.
• Mash the potatoes with a potato masher (or a large fork if you don't have a potato masher) while they're still in the pot. Stir thoroughly and add the salt and pepper.
• Simmer for 15 minutes, stirring often.
• *2 tbsp of jalapeno is spicy, adjust more or less to your taste. I have used both fresh and canned jalapenos, fresh does give a better flavor, but canned works perfectly fine. I do think canned gives a bit more spice though!

POTATO-CHEDDAR SOUP WITH QUICK-PICKLED JALAPEñOS

Steps:

• Thinly slice the jalapeños, discarding the seeds if you like. Put slices in a bowl and squeeze in enough lime juice to cover them. Add a pinch each of salt and sugar. Let sit at room temperature while you make the soup. (The jalapeños can be prepared up to 5 days ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator; they get softer and more pickle-y as they sit.)
• In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add onion, celery and a large pinch of salt, and sauté until lightly golden and soft, about 10 minutes. Add garlic and chili powder and sauté until fragrant, 1 minute.
• Add potatoes, broth and 2 teaspoons salt, and bring to a simmer. Cook until potatoes are very tender, 30 to 40 minutes.
• Using an immersion blender or transferring the soup to a regular blender in batches, purée the soup, adding some water as needed to thin it out. (The soup can be as thick or brothy as you like.)
• Return the soup to the pot if you removed it and reduce heat to medium-low. Add cheese and half-and-half, and cook at a very gentle simmer, stirring, until the cheese melts, 1 to 2 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
• Top each bowl with pickled jalapeños, plus a drizzle of their pickling liquid and a pinch of chili powder, along with scallions, cilantro and more Cheddar.
