Mexican Hot Potato Soup

Okay, this is one vaguely remembered from my sister showing me her vaguely remembered version - it should be called Chinese Whispers Soup ...

Cut up and fry some onions in vegetable oil
Add some smashed up garlic
Add some cut up peeled potatoes - smallish (not tiny though)
add a veggie stock cube some dried chilli flakes and a little bit of water (say, enough to cover the potatoes and a bit)
boil all this gently till the potatoes are cooked.

Add some sweet corn ( I used a couple of cups of frozen but I suppose there's nothing wrong with using canned.)

Keep back some of the soup separately (say half)

Blitz the remainder, add some salt and black pepper.

Add a can of drained and washed Red Kidney Beans and the soup that you saved and didnt blitz.

Cut up as much coriander leaves as you like and sprinkle on top.

We had this warm and filling soup with crusty bread. Yum.

    Ruth says dont use canned corn cos it wont be nice and crunchy. I say use whatever you have.
