Inspired by locro de papa, a staple of Ecuadorian cuisine, this uncomplicated soup delivers sophisticated flavors.
The diced avocado piled in a pale green mound atop the steaming bowl of soup won me over immediately. It was an “I should have thought of that” moment I had years ago in a restaurant in Quito, Ecuador. I regularly garnish chili with avocado, why not soup?
Never ask what’s for dinner again. Get one quick recipe in your inbox Monday through Thursday to inspire delicious meals. That observation was just the start of the enchantment as I dug into the creamy, golden potato and cheese soup, locro de papa, which is a staple of Ecuadorian cuisine. It’s a rich and hearty belly-warmer that’s simple to make and can easily be a main course. I came up with this version so I could make it part of my regular soup-season lineup.
A key ingredient in the classic recipe is achiote — also called annatto — a ruby red, mild tasting spice, which imparts a gorgeous, orange-red color to dishes. It’s common in dishes throughout Latin America, so I was able to pick some up at a Mexican market near me, and it is also sold online. But if you don’t have achiote, you can substitute a combination of sweet paprika and turmeric, which, together, add a similar hue and mild earthy flavor.
Served topped with more cheese and a burst of fresh green from sliced scallion, cilantro and — yes — that buttery, diced avocado, it’s an unforgettable soup to warm and fulfill you throughout the season.
