1 1/4 teaspoon Fine Sea Salt

3 Cups (485 grams) Yukon Gold Potatoes (diced to 1/2 inch, skin on, from about 4 small potatoes)

1 1/4 Cup (295 grams) Vegetable Broth

3 Cups (655 grams) Water

1 Cup (250 grams) Milk (plant or dairy, whole, I use homemade cashew milk)

Istruzioni

In a 4 quart Dutch oven or heavy bottom soup pot, add the oil and heat on medium until it shimmers.

Add the onion and saute on medium low for 7-8 minutes or until just softened.

To the soup pot, stir in the corn, jalapeños, garlic, paprika, salt and potatoes. Pour in the broth and water. Stir. Bring to a simmer and cook on a low simmer for about 13-18 minutes, or until the potatoes are just fork tender, stirring occasionally to prevent any sticking.

Transfer about 1 1/2 cups of the soup mixture to a blender and pour in the milk . Blend until smooth, about 30 seconds. Transfer the blended soup back into the soup pot and stir in the beans. Cook on low for about 5 minutes just to warm through.

Remove from heat, stir in the cheese and squeeze in the juice of half a lime. Taste for salt adjustment.

Ladle into soup bowls, add a few twists of fresh ground black pepper and garnish as desired.
