Recipe: Locro de Papa - Ecuadorian Potato-Cheese Soup
Blog: Chef Mireille's East West Realm
Location: USA
This is my kind of fall soup and one unfamiliar to me that is Ecuadorian in origin. Bright and vibrant, it's packed full of potatoes and cheese. Soft and melty Cayambe cheese was used for its creaminess, but Mireille says queso fresco would be a perfect substitute. Garnished with avocado, tomato or corn, I think I'd be tempted to have more than one bowl.

Certainly a perfect way to get some warm into our bodies.
