Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 2-1/2 pounds Potatoes (about 5) Peeled And Chopped; 2 Tablespoons Margarine; 1/2 cups Chopped Onion; 4 cups Chicken Broth (99% Fat Free); 1/2 teaspoons Ground Cumin; 2 Tablespoons Chopped Jalapeno Peppers, More Or Less To Taste; 2 cups Evaporated Milk (nonfat); 2 teaspoons Black Pepper; 1 Tablespoon Salt; 1 pinch Baking Soda

Servings: persons

2-1/2 pounds Potatoes (about 5) Peeled And Chopped
2 Tablespoons Margarine
1/2 cups Chopped Onion
4 cups Chicken Broth (99% Fat Free)
1/2 teaspoons Ground Cumin
2 Tablespoons Chopped Jalapeno Peppers, More Or Less To Taste
2 cups Evaporated Milk (nonfat)
2 teaspoons Black Pepper
1 Tablespoon Salt
1 pinch Baking Soda

1
Melt the margarine in a large pot and saute the chopped onions on medium heat. While they're sauteing, start peeling, cutting up your potatoes.
2
Once the onions have turned clear, add the potatoes, chicken broth, and cumin. Stir and bring to a boil. Then cover, reduce heat to medium, and allow the potatoes to cook until they soften enough to eat (about 20 minutes).
3
After the potatoes have cooked, remove the pot from the heat and add the chopped jalapeno, a pinch of baking soda, and the evaporated milk.
4
Mash the potatoes with a potato masher (or a large fork if you don't have a potato masher) while they're still in the pot. Stir thoroughly and add the salt and pepper.
5
Simmer for 15 minutes, stirring often.
6
Note that 2 tablespoons of jalapeno is spicy. Adjust more or less to your taste. I have used both fresh and canned jalapenos; fresh does give a better flavor, but canned works perfectly fine. I do think canned gives a bit more spice though!
