Tortilla Soup
Thought while we're waiting on some news of Itzel, we could see who has the best Tortilla Soup..... Recipe or Restaurant....
The best we've had was in TJ at the Camino Real. Wish I could remember the name of that restaurant as everything we ordered was excellent! There were
a lot of stairs leading up to that restaurant. Anyone here remember the name?

a buddy traded me my sandwich for his tortilla soup at lunch last month. i got the better end of the deal! he gave me the recipe as i was basically
floored by how good it was. well, when i made it the flavor was not even close to as good as he made it. mine was decent, but not the same......
whatever that means!

Most chefs will tell you the same thing:
It's easy to get the recipe, it's just not easy to duplicate the dish.
Much of the preparation is in the timing of the ingredients.
NOTE to Woody y ckiefer;
Send me a U2 and I'll send you my long-time tortilla soup recipe, including the timing of the ingredients.

Here's what I usually do. Recipe changes a little each time, depending on what I have in the fridge, or what I remember to add. Made a big pot last
weekend, and it was gone before the day was out!
Boil some chicken. Add: a cut up opion, couple cloves of garlic, some chiles (whatever you have on hand, and how spicy you want it). If you like
carrots, you can throw some of those in too. I usually use chicken breasts, 3-4, and usually boil for about an hour. (carrots maybe 20 minutes).
For spices I put in a bay leaf or two, some cumin, some oregano, maybe some basil or thyme, maybe some chili powder, and salt and pepper of course.
When the chicken is done, I take it out to cool, and then shred it and add it back in (after the tomatoes have simmered for awhile).
I then add a can of crushed tomatoes, and some granitos (corn...hominy?), if I have some.
Serve over crushed tortilla chips, with some cheese, avocado, and lemon squeezed in.
I won't say this is the best, but the family likes it!

There must be something forbidden in it like cholesterol or something like that.
Maybe it should be called "Tortilla Lard Soup" or something like that.
Yep....maybe it's something like that.
YUMMY.....I'm still looking in the stores for Cholesterol in a can....you know....with a label that says CHOLESTEROL. That's what makes food taste
good.

Sopa de Tortilla
(Tortilla Soup)
6 Tortillas, cut in strips (corn)
1 Onion, finely sliced
2 Tomatoes, finely chopped
1 Clove garlic
Chicken stock and bits of chicken
Salt and pepper
*Grated cheese
Fry tortilla strips in hot oil, let brown lightly. Drain, set aside.
In a saucepan fry tomatoes, garlic, onion and chicken bits in a little oil… season … add chicken stock.
Let simmer
When ready to serve add tortilla strips, let simmer 3-5 minutes. Serve. Tortillas should still be crisp but not hard.
*Soup should be served with grated dry Mexican cheese on top.
Queso Jalisco is a good brand found in Mexican grocery stores. The cheese is very crumbly. Grated Parmesan or Romano may be substituted
