Six years in the past, my buddy Liz had the sensible concept to begin a soup group to assist us get by means of an extended, darkish winter.
Her pitch was easy: we’d swap off internet hosting soup dinners at house, as soon as each month or two.
We liked the evenings a lot that we stored going by means of the spring, the summer time, the autumn, the next winter, and so forth. I’ve been so grateful for this type of repeated exercise — it looks like a heartbeat, particularly throughout arduous instances. (I think about it may be just like what church looks like, simply when it comes to seeing the identical individuals in a ritualized approach?) Final week, we headed to Linsey’s home, the place she made a wealthy, scrumptious tortilla soup.
We all the time go away the evening with ebook suggestions, parenting tales, and nail polish colours. (Keep in mind Gisela’s shell pink?)
Normally solely 4 or 5 of us could make any given evening (if we waited till we have been all free, the group would by no means occur), however final week all six of us have been miraculously there.
There are 1,000,000 tortilla soup recipes, however Linsey’s was so good, I requested her to share her non-recipe. Right here goes:
Sauté carrots and onions, and season as you want your tacos (a taco seasoning combine is okay!). Add chopped hen breast to brown. Then add bone broth, a pair cans of diced tomatoes (very value it to search out the fire-roasted variety!) and inexperienced chilies. Add lime juice to style, plus a spoonful of bitter cream. Serve with no matter toppings you fancy — avocado, cilantro, limes, cheddar cheese, black beans, corn, scallions, bitter cream, tortilla chips, and so on.
