Locro is a nourishing potato-cheese soup that is popular in Ecuador and Peru. A soup with the same name is found in Argentina, but Argentine locro is a vegetable and meat stew.

Ingredients
- 1/4 cup Oil or butter
- 1/2 Onion, minced
- 3 to 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 to 2 lbs Potatoes, peeled and diced
- 4 cups Water or stock
- 1 cup Milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup Muenster, queso fresco or mozzarella cheese, shredded
Directions
- Heat the oil or butter over medium flame in a large pot. Add onion and garlic and simmer until the onion is translucent.
- Stir in the potatoes, water or stick, milk, salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until potatoes are falling apart, 30 to 45 minutes. Mash potatoes up a bit with the back of the spoon to thicken the soup, leaving it a little chunky.
- Remove the soup from heat and stir in the cheese. Adjust seasoning and serve immediately.
- Variation:
- 1. Saute 1-2 chopped ajis amarillos (yellow chili peppers) with onion and garlic for a spicier soup with an authentic Andean flavor. The peppers also add a beautiful yellow hue to the soup.
- 2. A handful of corn kernels is often added to this soup. Use about 1 cup and add after the soup has simmered for about 20 to 30 minutes.
- 3. Chopped avocado is often used as a garnish

Very nice,I am very partial to Potato and cheese soups! That and I eat so much garlic that the other creatures of the night are beginning to avoid me.
Thanks,

This sounds great. I can't wait to try this out, and now, I want to find a version of the Argentine style. I think it would be very good too.
