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).

The fig is also a fertility symbol and the Arab association with male genitals is so strong that the original word 'fig' is considered improper.

Food Joke

The Passover test [My thanks to Jeff G for the following] Sean is waiting for a bus when another man joins him at the bus stop. After 20 minutes of waiting, Sean takes out a sandwich from his lunch box and starts to eat. But noticing the other man watching, Sean asks, "Would you like one? My wife has made me plenty." "Thank you very much, but I must decline your kind offer," says the other man, "I’m Rabbi Levy." "Nice to meet you, Rabbi," says Sean, "but my sandwiches are alright for you to eat. They only contain cheese. There’s no meat in them." "It’s very kind of you," says Rabbi Levy, "but today we Jews are celebrating Passover. It would be a great sin to eat a sandwich because during the 8 days of Passover, we cannot eat bread. In fact it would be a sin comparable to the sin of adultery." "OK," says Sean, "but it’s difficult for me to understand the significance of what you’ve just said." Many weeks later, Sean and Rabbi Levy meet again. Sean says, "Do you remember, Rabbi, that when we last met, I offered you a sandwich which you refused because you said eating bread on Passover would be as great a sin as that of adultery?" Rabbi Levy replies, "Yes, I remember saying that." "Well, Rabbi," says Sean, "that day, I went over to my mistress’s apartment and told her what you said. We then tried out both the sins, but I must admit, we just couldn’t see the comparison."
