A warm, hearty, filling, nutritiously satisfying and amazingly delicious soup! Spicy roasted Hatch green chiles, potatoes, and protein-rich quinoa combine beautifully in this quick and easy to make nourishing soup.

Having lived in the Southwest U.S. for 10+ years, Hatch green chile season has fast become my favorite season.

Even after all of this time, I still get an itch of excitement when I see the chile roasters setting up shop. My mind immediately swarms with recipe possibilities, as my taste buds prepare for that spicy kick. . .

…and, soup is certainly one one of the better complements for the amazing New Mexican Hatch chile!

This particular soup is really quite satisfying in many ways.

It has a slightly spicy, slightly smoky flavor and when paired with quinoa & potatoes — it is incredibly filling & comforting as well.

If you are looking to add a bit of health & warmth to your diet as the days turn cooler, you will find yourself beyond nourished with this amazingly easy and tasty dish!
