Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1/2 to 1 fresh jalapeno, seeded and minced
Green chiles, roasted and chopped, 1/4 to 1/2 cup (depending on how hot the chiles are)
1 cup chopped onion
2 pound potatoes (Idaho, russet, or Yukon gold), peeled (although i leave skins on) and cubed
4 cups chicken stock
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
3 cups milk (can use 1/2 milk and 1/2 half and half if you want it to be really good!)
Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish:
Cheddar cheese, shredded
Diced scallions
Tortilla chips
Directions:
Directions:
In a large stockpot combine jalapeno, green chiles, onions, potatoes and stock together. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes. In a medium saucepan melt margarine over low heat; add flour to blend. Cook, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes to make a blonde roux. Raise heat, stirring with a wire whisk until thickened. Add milk to thickened liquid and continue to stir until it comes to a simmer. Gradually add milk mixture into potato mixture.
With an immersion blender blend soup to desired consistency. Can leave chunky or blend until completely smooth. If you don't have an immersion blender, get one! But if you're desperate, you can use a traditional blender to blend in batches. Works just as well, just makes a little more mess.
Add salt and pepper to taste. If you prefer soup less thick can add extra stock and reblend.
Serve hot with shredded cheddar, diced scallions, and tortilla chips. A cold beer works also.

Personal Notes:
This is a rendition of Maxon's Green Chile Chowder which i modified a little to make it easier to prepare.
I love this recipe, it is pure comfort food. Mom used to love to go to Jaxon's (or Maxon's) and have this soup. Sometimes this would be followed by a little shopping expedition at the mall. Good times they were indeed!
