Panera’s Cream Cheese Potato Soup

This is my favorite recipe for potato soup. It’s a copycat of the one they use to serve at the St. Louis Bread Company (Panera). The recipe originally called for shredding your potatoes, but I never could get them to cook that way. I know they should cook faster, but I never could get it to work.

Pollo En Crema: Spicy Salvadorian Chicken Soup

from Chef John over at foodwishes.blogspot.com, purportedly a rendition of his favorite Salvadorian dish from Aunt Mary’s restaurant in San Fran. DH just keeps getting better and better at making this, but I got curious enough about the nutrition facts to keep it here on zaar. Beware: even with cream in the title, this is no soup for sissies. Those chile oils swirling atop your stewpot are lovely, but deceptively spicy. Skim them if you like, but it’ll still be muy picante!

Creamy Spicy Oaxacan Sweet Onion Soup

Just like the title says, this is sweet and creamy and spicy with chipotle and poblano peppers! So enjoy! Adapted from Donna Nordon, owner/chef of Cafe Terra Cotta in Tucson, Arizona. This will feed a crowd, so feel free to cut recipe in half!

Oaxacan Black Bean Soup

this recipe is from rick bayless mexican kitchen cookbook. it’s a bit different as it uses no additional spices and contains shrimp. it tastes even better the second day.
