Caldo queso

Caldo queso is a traditional soup originating from Baja California. It’s usually made with a combination of potatoes, onions, cheese such as Monterey Jack, tomatoes, jalapeños, chicken stock, corn oil, salt, and pepper. The potatoes, onions, tomatoes, and hot peppers are cooked in oil over low heat. The chicken stock is seasoned with salt and pepper and brought to a boil. Diced cheese is then stirred into the stock along with the vegetables, and the soup is then served in individual bowls while piping hot.
