Caldo de queso

Caldo de queso is a traditional cheese soup made in places of Hermosillo, Sonora (North Mexico).[1]
The soup is made with boiled water, diced potatoes, onions, tomato, chile verde and oregano. Tomato puree or dehydrated chicken broth might also be added to the mix as condiments.
The cheese added only at the end, once the other are ingredients are boiled, to prevent gratination. It's most usually prepared with dices of queso fresco; the contact with the boiling soup heats the cheese and gives it a gummy, chewable texture, in turn it melts slightly giving the soup a characteristic flavour.
Caldo de queso is generally accompanied by chiltepin or totopos (fried corn tortilla chips).
