Sopa Azteca.... es deliciosa!

I had such an absolutelyricisimodeliciosowonderfulytasty lunch.

Sopa Azteca.

This recipe is coming back to the states with me and will probably find it’s way onto my table a few times a week!

Okay, here is the lack of a recipe….

Sopa Azteca

• Tomatoes, a lot.
• Jalapeños, a few.
• Onions, less than you add of tomatoes and more than of the jalapeños.
• Chicken Base, oh a little.
• Garlic Powder, however much you like garlic.

Boil the above in water for a long time. Until everything is really soft. Put it all in the blender, then heat up on the stove. Sopa=Done! Now comes the extra delicioso part.

Serve up an extra-big portion (or normal if you like going back for second, because you will want to ;)) and top with the following…

• Chopped Avacado
• Sour Cream
• Lots of Cilantro
• Green Onion
• Baked tortilla pieces (Best if you buy them fresh today from the tortilleria down the street ;) )
• Chicharrónes (fried pork rind)

When I make this in the states I will probably eat it with yogurt instead of sour cream and black beans, too. If you want you could add a meat for extra protein, chicken or pork would be tasty. I love this meal because it is so simple and good for you! Tomatoes, chiles and onion makes up the majority! If I really felt like being uber-healthy I’d leave off the tortilla and chicharrónes. But who wants to be THAT healthy? I miss cooking so much! And natural peanut butter. And flax in my oatmeal. And Fustini’s vinegar on my salads. So excited to have my own place this fall. It’s going to be superb.

Now I am getting off my laptop, I feel guilty for being inside on such a lovely day. Time for shorts, sunshine, and homework.
