I confess that I looked through the whole pot of soup. I thought I had (smartly) removed it last night when I made my stock. After it cooked for several hours all of the color was mostly gone so it looked like a stewed tomato~ and yup ~ I took the whole thing into my mouth and chewed :eyeballpc: :rolleyes:

IC homemade soup sounds good

IC I don't like soup

Sopa de Lima
 

I confess this recipe is similar to what I make with no recipe at all ;)

Mexican tortilla and lime soup

Recipe adapted from Latin & Carribbean Stores Demystified, by Linda Bladholm. Serves 4-6.

2 oat bran or whole wheat tortillas
4 cloves garlic, peeled
1 canned chipotle chili in adobo, plus 1/2 tsp adobo sauce
2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded (I used rotisserie chicken from the market)
2 Tbsp vegetable or canola oil
2 medium onions, finely chopped
3 medium tomatoes, chopped
6 cups chicken stock (homemade or low-sodium canned)
Juice of 2 limes, plus the rinds (4 halves of squeezed lime)
1 tsp dried Mexican oregano
1 bay leaf
Kosher salt and fresh black pepper to taste
Chopped garnishes: red onion, avocado, radishes, queso fresco (or crumbled feta cheese), cilantro (some or all, optional)

Preheat oven to 425°F.

Slice tortillas into thin matchsticks, 2-3 inches long, and spread on a cookie sheet. Leave out on the countertop to get a bit stale, for 30-60 minutes, while you prepare the soup.

In a small food processor or with a mortar and pestle, puree the garlic and chipotle, and set aside.

In a large saucepan, heat the oil. Sauté onion until soft, 2-3 minutes. Add tomatoes and garlic-chili puree, and stir 2-3 minutes. Add 1/2 tsp adobo sauce, stock, lime juice, lime halves, oregano and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes. Add shredded chicken, and season with salt and pepper. Remove lime rinds. Set soup aside, covered.

Bake the tortilla strips for 10 minutes, or until crisp and browned. Ladle soup into individual serving bowls, and garnish with a few tortilla strips. Pass bowls of garnishes for each person to add, to taste.
