Vegetarian Green Chili

In October, I brought back about three pounds of roasted green chiles from the farmers market in Denver.  It was really easy to do, and they have been in the freezer ever since.

Green chili is one of my favorite things to eat.  I dont mind the pork in it, but I usually leave the chunks on the side.  It is quite delicious made without the meat.

I found this recipe on some random site...I dont even remember what it was.  If you find yourself with roasted green chiles on hand, I highly recommend it!

Vegetarian Green Chili

1 onion chopped
3-4 cloves of garlic (I used 4 large ones)
1 Tbls olive oil
6 cups of vegetable broth
~ 12 roasted, peeled, chopped green chiles (adjust according to heat of the chiles -- mine were pretty hot, but I still used 12)
2 Tbls cornstarch or flour

Saute onion and garlic in olive oil.  Add chiles and stock.  Add salt and pepper.  Dissolve flour or cornstarch in one cup of hot water, add and simmer for 45 minutes.

Optional ingredients:
1 - 2 potatoes, diced (I added two small ones)
1 - 2 tomatoes, chopped (I added two romas)
cilantro, cumin, oregano

Add these with chiles and stock, except for cilantro, add that at the end.

I served with cheese, of course.
