Servings: 6

 

Ingredients:

28 ounces broth (chicken or vegetable)

2 cups cubed cooked chicken or turkey (optional)

Cooking oil (I like coconut oil or light tasting olive oil)

About 1 ½ cups of corn kernels (I used a frozen baby gold and white corn mix)

About four 6-inch corn (or other gluten-free) tortillas, cut into wide strips (I use my kitchen shears)

About 2 cups of additional vegetables, cooked or uncooked (like diced zucchini, finely diced carrots, sliced or diced mushrooms, etc.; see notes)

1 jar (about 15.5 ounces) red or green salsa (see notes)

Equipment:

paper towels

sauce pan

pot

bowl

Cooking instruction summary:

In a large saucepan/pot, combine broth and salsa and bring to boil over medium-high heat. When the broth/salsa mixture reaches boiling, stir in vegetables. (If using fresh raw vegetables, you’ll want to add them at the same time as the broth/salsa mixture and cook a few minutes longer to ensure they are cooked completely before serving.)While the broth/salsa mixture is heating, cook tortilla strips in oil at medium-high until crisp and light brown (they cook quickly) and then remove to drain on paper towels.Reduce heat to a simmer and continue simmering until the vegetables are almost done/cooked through. Add chicken (or turkey) and cook a little longer until soup is heated through (usually about 5 to 10 minutes longer).Serve in bowls topped with tortilla strips, or with tortilla strips on the side, which you can break up more if you wish.Makes about six bowls of soup (soup mug size).

Food Trivia

The largest item found on any menu is roasted camel which is still served at some Bedouin weddings and was offered by royalty in Morocco several hundred years ago. The camel is cleaned and then stuffed with one whole lamb, 20 chickens, 60 eggs, and 110 gallons of water, among other ingredients.

Food Joke

Because I’m a man Because I’m a man, when I catch a cold I need someone to bring me soup and take care of me while I lie in bed and moan. You`re a woman - you never get as sick as I do, so for you this isn`t a problem. Because I’m a man, I can be relied upon to purchase basic groceries, like milk or bread. Don’t expect me to find exotic items like ‘cumin’ or ‘tofu’. For all I know, these are the same thing. And never, ever expect me to purchase anything for which "feminine hygiene product" is a euphemism. Because I’m a man, there’s no need to ask me what I`m thinking about. The answer is always ‘sex’, ‘cars’ or ‘sport’. Because I’m a man, I don’t want to visit your mother or have her come visit us or talk to her when she calls or think about her any more than I have to. Whatever you got her for Mother`s Day is OK - I don`t need to see it. And don`t forget to pick up something for my mother too. Because I’m a man, you don`t have to ask me if I liked the movie. If you`re crying at the end of it, chances are I didn`t. And if you’re feeling amorous afterwards, then I’ll certainly remember the name and recommend it to others. Because I’m a man, I think what you`re wearing is fine. I thought what you were wearing 5 minutes ago was also fine. Either pair of shoes is fine. With or without the belt, it looks fine. Your hair is fine. You look fine. Can we just go now? Because I’m a man, and this is the year 2005, I will share equally in the housework. You just do the laundry, the cooking, the cleaning, the vacuuming and the dishes. I`ll do the rest, like looking for my socks.
