Cooking instruction summary:

Procedures 1 Lay a sheet of aluminum foil on a cast-iron skillet set over medium heat. Add the tomatoes, and flip with a pair of tongs every other minute or so until they are lightly blackened on all sides. Remove and set aside to cool for a few minutes. Then remove the core from each tomato, and then add to a blender along with the onion and garlic. Process until very smooth. 2 While tomatoes are cooking, heat the oil in a large Dutch oven set over medium-high heat. When hot, add the chiles. Cook until crisp, which should just take a few seconds on each side. Remove with a pair of tongs, and transfer to some paper towels to drain. Then add as many of the tortilla strips as will comfortably fit in one layer in the oil. Cook until lightly browned, but not too crisp. Remove the strips with a pair of tongs, shaking off any additional oil. Drain the strips on paper towels. Repeat process with remaining tortilla strips. 3 Remove all but one tablespoon of the oil from the Dutch oven. With the heat still on medium-high, add the tomato mixture. Cook, stirring often with a wooden spoon, until slightly reduced, about five minutes. Pour in the chicken stock. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. While it is warming up, check the seasoning, and add a pinch or two of salt if needed. 4 When soup comes to a boil, add the tortilla strips. Reduce heat to medium, and cook for three minutes. Add the sprig of epazote, and cook for one more minute. 5 Crumble the fried pasilla chiles. Divide the soup between four to six bowls. Top each with a sprinkle of the crumbled chiles and one-sixth of the grated cheese. Serve immediately.

Food Joke

John invited his mother over for dinner. During the meal, his mother couldn't help noticing how attractive and shapely the housekeeper was. Over the course of the evening, she started to wonder if there was more between John and the housekeeper than met the eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, John volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, my relationship with my housekeeper is purely professional." About a week later, the housekeeper came to John and said, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle. You don't suppose she took it, do you?" John said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll write her a letter just to be sure." So he sat down and wrote: "Dear Mother, I'm not saying you 'did' take a gravy ladle from my house, and I'm not saying you 'did not' take a gravy ladle. But the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner." Several days later, John received a letter from his mother which said "Dear Son, I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with your housekeeper, and I'm not saying that you 'do not' sleep with your housekeeper. But the fact remains that if she were sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now. Love, Mom"
