RECIPE


Though the evidence of spring is literally “popping” up everywhere, I know we still have a few cold days ahead. Perfect for this delicious, comforting soup. The infused oils and seasonings by Olivelle really kick up the flavor.


Creamy Mexican Potato Soup

with Adobo Rubbed Steak and Fresh Pico de Gallo


Steak and potatoes are an American dinner classic. The Mexican inspired flavor twist to this cheesy, potato soup is a guaranteed winner. Layer on the flavors of Adobo Rubbed grilled steak, fresh Pico de Gallo, and a squeeze of lime to make each steaming bowl a full-meal deal.


•   2 Tablespoons Fiesta Spice Infused Olive Oil by Olivelle

•   1 cup chopped onion (about 1 medium onion)

•   ½ cup chopped celery

•   8 cloves fresh garlic, minced

•   2 teaspoons Mexican Oregano (I used our Greek Oregano)

•   2 teaspoons cumin

•   1 teaspoon coriander

•   ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

•   2 lbs. red potatoes, cubed

•   4 cups chicken broth

•   2 teaspoons Cumin Spice Sea Salt by Olivelle

•   2 Tablespoons unsalted butter

•   2 Tablespoons freshly milled flour

•   1 ½ cups half-and-half

•   12 oz. hot pepper jack cheese, shredded

•   ½ cup sour cream

•   2 teaspoons Cumin and Garlic Taco Rub by Olivelle (or to taste)

•   Salt and pepper to taste

•   Top with Adobo Rubbed Steak, Pico de Gallo and a Squeeze of fresh lime


In 6 liter or larger pressure cooker, over medium heat, melt butter with oil. Add onion, celery, garlic, Italian Seasoning, cumin, coriander and cayenne pepper. Sauté about 3-4 minutes to release the flavors of the spices and to soften the onions and celery.


Stir in broth and potatoes. Lock pressure lid into place. On high heat, bring pressure up to second indicator ring (high pressure). Reduce heat to maintain pressure and cook for 4 minutes. Remove from heat and let pressure naturally release. (Cook for 5 minutes if quick release).


While pressure naturally releases: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Whisk in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes. Whisk in half-and-half until smooth.


Return soup to medium heat. Mash with a potato masher to desired consistence. Add half and half mixture and cheese. Stir until cheese melts. Stir in sour cream and season to taste with salt, black pepper, and Cumin and Garlic Taco Rub


Serve topped with thinly sliced Adobo Rubbed Steak, Pico de Gallo, and a squeeze of lime.



Adobo Rubbed Steak


The Cumin and Garlic Taco Rub by Olivelle gives steak that perfect fajita seasoning. Grill on the grill, in the oven, or simply sear in a frypan, this steak is delicious all by itself. But even better complimenting this soup.


•   1 ½ lbs flank or shoulder steak (I used shoulder steak)

•   1-2 teaspoons Cumin and Garlic Taco Rub by Olivelle

•   Fiesta Spice Infused Olive Oil by Olivelle


While soup is cooking, sprinkle both sides of steaks with spice and drizzle with oil. Rub to coat. Let sit at room temperature until ready to cook. Sear in pan, oven or on grill and cook until internal temperature reaches 125F. Remove from heat and cover or wrap with foil and allow


Brad’s Incredible Salsa/Fresh Pico de Gallo


  • 5 Roma tomatoes, finely diced
  • 1 onion, finely diced
  • 1 yellow, red or green bell pepper, finely diced
  • 1 fresh jalapeno, finely diced, optional
  • ½ - 1 teaspoon salt, to taste
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 4 sprigs of fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 3-5 slices of jalapeño pepper (to taste)


Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix. Adjust the ingredient amounts to suit your taste! Serve and enjoy.

Beyond the Basics - Breads with Freshly Milled Flour

Saturday March 9, 2024

10:00 am -1:30 pm

Presented by Chef Mark Lowery (assisted by Sue Becker)

CLASS IS FULL

ONLINE STREAMING ONLY $10 Click here to register



Mark graduated from the Art Institute of Atlanta and is the head chef at Common Table Chattanooga. He is a gifted chef who has gone “all in” with freshly milled flour after I spoke at the Women’s lunch at Calvary Chapel Chattanooga in August.


We worked together the day before to make bread, then Mark took it upon himself to create the best muffins and scones that I have ever had for the morning breakfast at the event.


On my next visit to Common Table, Mark had prepared the softest and most delicious hamburger buns for me to enjoy with an equally delicious hamburger. He will share his secret at the class.


And on my most recent visit, Mark prepared a special lunch for me which included an extraordinary Rosemary Focaccia Bread and amazing dessert scone topped with strawberries and whipped cream served on a delicious fresh blueberry compote.

Mark will share his expertise and tips to take your freshly milled baking journey to the next level. 


The menu for the class will include the Rosemary Focaccia Bread, the Best Hamburger Buns served as a delicious Beef Slider, and the Strawberry Shortcake Scone.
