I like a good beef pho with hoisin and sriracha. Opens up the sinuses.

Growing up, my mom’s go to for us was chicken broth with those really small rings.

She was a firm believer that you could cure anything with that soup, vitamin c tablets, and Vicks.

If it was really bad, you had to wrap up in a blanket and sit in a chair in the sun.

Same, but throw in some saltines and ginger ale for some reason.

Tortilla Soup:

INGREDIENTS

3 tablespoons of olive oil
2 medium onions, chopped
1 poblano pepper, roasted, peeled, and diced
8 cloves of garlic, minced
2 tablespoons of dried cilantro (optional)
10 corn tortillas, cut into ½-inch strips.
3 cups of turkey or chicken, cooked and chopped
3 15oz cans of chicken broth
1 15oz can of chopped stewed tomatoes
1 10oz can of diced tomatoes and green chillies
1 15oz can of sweet corn (include the juice)
1 15oz can of creamed corn (include the juice)
1 tablespoon of cumin
2 bay leaves
½ teaspoon of back pepper
½ teaspoon of lime juice

Garnish:

Monterrey Jack cheese, shredded
Fresh cilantro and onions
Crema
Avocado slices

STEPS

1) Roast, peel, and dice the poblano.

2) Sauté the onions in olive oil until translucent.

3) Add the garlic and cook for another minute or so, then add the poblanos.

4) Remove the onions, garlic, and poblanos from the pot as best you can and set aside.

5) Add a little more oil and the tortilla strips. Stir to coat in the now flavored oil.

6) Add chicken broth as needed to keep from sticking, and stir as the tortillas break down into a mush.

7) Add back the onions/garlic/poblanos and keep adding broth as needed.

8) Simmer for about five minutes, adding broth as needed.

9) Add the chicken or turkey, any remaining broth, and the rest of the ingredients.

10) Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 30 minutes. Adjust the spices as needed. For more heat, add ½ teaspoon of cayenne pepper.

11) Add lime juice at the end to brighten.


NOTES

Don’t simmer too long, or everything just blends together.

Add a can of hominy (drained).

Could throw in a small can of black beans, drained and rinsed.

A little Black Lime doesn’t hurt.
