Six years in the past, my pal Liz had the good concept to begin a soup group to assist us get by means of a protracted, darkish winter.
Her pitch was easy: we’d swap off internet hosting soup dinners at dwelling, as soon as each month or two. That’s it!
We cherished the evenings a lot that we stored going by means of the spring, the summer time, the autumn, the next winter, and so forth. I’ve been so grateful for this sort of repeated exercise — it seems like a heartbeat, particularly throughout arduous occasions. (I think about it could be much like what church seems like, simply by way of seeing the identical individuals in a ritualized manner?) Final week, we headed to Linsey’s home, the place she made a wealthy, scrumptious tortilla soup.
We at all times depart the night time with ebook suggestions, profession insights, parenting tales, and nail polish colors. (Keep in mind Gisela’s shell pink?)
Since Linsey’s tortilla soup was so good, I requested her to share her non-recipe. Right here goes:
Sauté carrots and onions, and season as you want your tacos (a taco seasoning combine is okay!). Add chopped rooster breast to brown. Then add bone broth, a pair cans of diced tomatoes (very value it to seek out the fire-roasted form!) and inexperienced chilies. Add lime juice to style, plus a spoonful of bitter cream. Serve with no matter toppings you fancy — avocado, cilantro, limes, cheddar cheese, black beans, corn, scallions, bitter cream, tortilla chips, and so on.
(Another soup recipes you like? I’m at all times in search of good ones!)
