Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
2 tbsp olive oil
1 yellow onion diced
4 fist-sized white potatoes diced
3 cloves garlic minced
2 tsp dried Mexican oregano
Pinch dried chile flakes
4 cups chicken stock
4 ears ripe corn kernels sliced off
1 cup fresh or frozen peas

Directions:
Directions:
In a large stock pot (at least 5 quarts) over medium-high heat add the olive oil and onion and cook until translucent , about 6 minutes. Add the potatoes and a pinch salt. Cook until the edges of the potatoes are beginning to soften and turn a golden brown, about another 5 minutes.
Add the garlic, Mexican oregano, and red pepper flakes. Cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds, then add the stock to the pan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer the soup until the potatoes are tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
Add the corn kernels, peas, Cotija cheese (See Note 3), milk and shredded chicken to the soup. Stir and bring back to a simmer another 5 minutes. Taste and season as needed.

Personal Notes:
1. The herb that makes this is Mexican oregano, but regular oregano works just as well.
2. The fresh cut corn adds a nuanced flavor to the broth from the corn milk as it cooks in the soup. Frozen corn and peas can be substituted here as well if fresh is unavailable where you live though.
3. Cotija (Mexican) cheese is a moister, fattier, and less salty version of Feta (Greek) and Parmesan (Italian) that holds its shape when cut, with a slightly similar flavor. Queso Fresco can also be substituted for the Cotija cheese if you like.
