Rustic Bolivian Baked Cheese Soup

Assemble the ingredients: cheese, lemon juice, onion, bell pepper, garlic, potato, tomato.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the cheese and cook until baked.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Bolivian flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Bolivian accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
