easy-tortilla-soup
Okay, so I’m using the word “taco” in the most general sense possible here. But I think there’s room on Taco Tuesday for all sorts of Latin flavors — enchiladas, fajitas, seviche, and yes, even tortilla soup.
There are certainly more labor-intensive (and authentic) methods for making tortilla soup. But when it’s 60 degrees in May and you just want a taste of lime-scented broth topped with slivers of avocado to warm you up for lunch, this is an easy way to make that happen. Much easier than, let’s say, using GPS to determine which Mexican restaurants are open at 9:55 in Asheville, NC and serve tortilla soup, the only thing you can imagine comforting your allergy-stricken sore throat. (In case you are ever in this situation, the answer is La Paz.)
When I saw the very lovely Jora of Domestic Reflections make “tortilla soup, b------ ized” I knew she was a woman after my own heart. And now not just because of her drool-worthy house and ridiculously beautiful children. But because she is practical, and uses that practicality to make dreams come true. Dreams like easy tortilla soup. Bring it.
