Place the peeled and quartered potatoes in a large pot. Cover with 6 cups of water and add a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 20-25 minutes. You should be able to easily pierce them with a fork.
⏱️ 25 minutes - 2
Drain most of the cooking water from the pot, leaving about 1/2 cup to help create a creamy base. Add the milk and grated cheese to the pot with the potatoes. Stir gently over medium-low heat until the cheese is completely melted and the soup is smooth and creamy. Do not boil after adding the milk and cheese.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 3
Season the soup with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Gently crack each egg into a separate small bowl or ramekin. Create a gentle swirl in the soup with a spoon and carefully slide each egg into the soup, ensuring they don't touch each other. Cover the pot and poach the eggs for 4-5 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 4
Carefully ladle the Chupe Andino into bowls, ensuring each serving gets an egg. Serve immediately.
