TORTILLA SOUP
TORTILLA-SOUP - A spicy soup with cheese, tomatoes,
and corn
This is a recipe from Salmagundi, a San Francisco
soup res-
taurant chain.
INGREDIENTS (Serves 12)
3 lbs chicken pieces
16 cups water
1 tsp celery seed
1 tsp black peppercorns
2 garlic cloves, peeled
1 lb canned whole peeled tomatoes (do not
drain-reserve
the liquid)
1 onion, cut into 1/2-inch pieces.
1 green pepper, cut into 1/2-inch pieces.
3 sprigs fresh cilantro
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp cayenne or chili powder
1/4 tsp ground white pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
10 oz frozen corn
4 green onions, coarsely chopped
salt
1 cup cooked rice (cook 3 oz of raw rice to
get that
much cooked rice)
2 tsp minced parsley
4 oz tortilla chips
1/2 lb grated cheddar cheese
PROCEDURE
(1) Combine chicken and water in stockpot.
Add celery
seed, peppercorns and garlic tied in
cheesecloth.
Cover, bring to a boil, reduce heat and
simmer for
about 45 minutes.
(2) Remove chicken from broth and let cool.
Strain
broth and return to pot.
(3) Add tomatoes, onion, green pepper, cilantro,
cumin, cayenne, white pepper and garlic.
Cover
and simmer 30 minutes.
(4) Add corn and green onion. Simmer 10
minutes.
While this is cooking, skin and bone
the chicken
pieces and cut the meat into bite-size
pieces.
(5) Add salt to taste. Add the chicken,
rice and
parsley to the broth, and heat through.
(6) Garnish each bowl with a few crisp tortilla
chips
(homemade are best, or those made in
a homemade
style) and some grated cheddar cheese.
NOTES
I usually make this with leftover chicken. You
don't actu-
ally need a whole chicken worth-even a small amount
will do.
In this case, I use a mixture of chicken broth
and water
(about 2/3 chicken broth) for the liquid.
RATING
Difficulty: easy. Time: 2 hours, most of it simmering.
Precision: approximate measurement OK.
