It was really good.
Ancho Chicken Tortilla Soup
1 rotisserie chicken
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large yellow onion diced small
4 cloves garlic minced
Ancho Chile Puree (recipe follows)
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1/4 cup coarsely chopped cilantro plus more for garnish
28 ounce can chopped tomatoes drained
4 cups chicken stock
juice 1 lime
8 corn tortillas cut into 1 1/2 inch squares and fried or store bought tortilla chips
1/2 cup sour cream
2 ripe Hass avocados diced large
1 cup shredded monterrey jack cheese
skin and bone the cooked chicken and shred meat into bite size pieces (set aside)
heat a heavy soup pot over medium high heat and add vegetable oil, add onion and saute until it becomes soft about 4 minutes. Add garlic to pot and cook for 2 minutes. Add chile puree, salt, black pepper, sugar, oregano and cilantro. Cook for 2 minutes stirring constantly to avoid scorching.
add tomatoes and chicken stock and bring soup to a boil. Turn heat to low and slowly simmer soup for 20 to 30 minutes. Taste soup and adjust the seasoning if needed. Add chicken and lime juice.
To serve place a few tortillas in the bottom of each bowl. Ladle hot soup over the tortilla chips, and top with a dollop of sour cream diced avocado, shredded cheese and a sprinkle of cilantro.
makes 8 servings
Ancho Chile Puree
2 ancho chiles, stemmed, seeded and coarsely chopped
1 plum tomato, coarsely chopped
1/2 small yellow onion, coarsely chopped
2 cloves of garlic
pinch of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon of ground cumin
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 cup chicken stock
combine all ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a low simmer for 2 minutes. Then cover the saucepan turn off heat and allow chiles to steep for 15 minutes. Transfer all to a blender and puree until smooth. makes 1 1/2 cups
(instead of the rotisserie chicken I used 3 cooked boneless breasts) I also sliced the avocado instead of dicing.
The soup was awesome.
My family loves my wild rice soup.
I use about 2cups of wild rice ( this is real wild rice and not patty rice)
2-3 stocks of celery
2-3 carrots
1 medium onion
beef broth
1/2 hamburger ( browned and I mix the drippings into the soup)
1/2 cup barley
I let this simmer on a back burner for a couple of hours.

When I make Sunday pot roast, I braise it in a combination of port wine, beef boullion and sliced onions. I save all the juice after the roast is done; we don't make gravy.
After it's chilled and the grease is taken off, I add canned diced tomatoes (with juice) and my favorite frozen veggies: corn, carrots, green beans, peas, etc. I scrubb a potato or two, dice (not peeled) them and add to the pot. It's also good with some chopped cabbage and broccoli bits. Whatever you have.

1/2 C. Vegetable oil
1/4 C. Chicken base
3 C. diced Yellow Onions
2 tsp. ground Cumin

melts. Add chicken; heat through. Makes 1 1/2 g

Black Eye Pea Soup
I'm not sure how many "northerners" will like this soup, but I just made a batch for lunch and it is so good!
Rinse off a bag of dried black eye peas and put them in a pressure cooker. Add 2 cups of water per cup of peas, making sure not to overfill cooker (see cooker manual). Add a bay leaf, chopped up garlic, bell pepper, and chunks of turkey ham (or just ham--I prefer turkey ham because I'm not that into pork). Do not season before cooking. Turn on stove and once high pressure is reached (you'll know--it gets noisy), cook about 10 minutes, then either let pressure reduce naturally or put cooker under cold water from the sink to do a quick release. Then season according to taste.
Toppings include any one or more of the following:
Salsa
cheese
Fresh Avocado sprinkled with garlic salt and pepper (my favorite).
Fresh chopped tomatoes
Chopped red onion
Enjoy, this is healthy and high in fiber--good for the heart!
