Jalapeño Cheddar Mashed Potato Soup
For a few years now, I have been fortunate enough to be on the Cabot Cheese Board. A couple of times a year, I receive these boxes, generously filled with delicious Cabot Cheese. And not just the cheese, there is typically a theme to each box depending on what the season is. This particular tasty box arrived towards the end of winter filled with all of my favorites. New York Vintage, Alpine Cheddar and Farmhouse Reserves, just to name a few. Most days, I will incorporate the cheese into dishes that I share with friends at the community lunch every Friday.  On this particular day, I found myself with a large amount of leftover mashed potatoes. First thing that came to mind was soup! Those leftover mashed potatoes became this delicious soup with fresh and canned green chiles, smoky Spanish chorizo, homemade croutons and the best white cheddar around! As soon as I tasted it, I knew I wanted to share the recipe with you all. #ILoveCheese

 Homemade croutons can be prepared with any day old bread. I particularly like French or Italian bread. Slice into pieces. Drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Place on baking sheet and bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 15-20 minutes or until crispy.
