Next on the hit parade of food inspired from some place south and some place way warmer...although I have to admit it would appear that our deep freeze is over (fingers crossed)...would be Tortilla Soup!
I started by sauteeing onions until they softened and turned transparent. I then added shredded chicken, water, green chiles, chicken boullion powder, parsley and salt and brought them to a boil.
I let it simmer for about 15 minutes and then served it, adding some tortilla strips for flair. I have to say this soup surprised me. At one point I was concerned because it seemes like I was making fancy chicken soup... I guess I kinda did, but the flavours were amazing! I can't really handle spice at all and this soup had the perfect amount of latent heat to it and the tortilla chips really made the soup complete.
All in all one heck of an amazing soup! Two thumbs way up!!!
Of course what complements the mexican meal better than margaritas?! I decided it was too cold for the blended version I usually make during the summer.
Tequlia, vodka, lime juice, crushed ice and a margarita mixer made up this lovely refreshing tall one!
