Tortilla Soup
Ingredients:
2 cans "tomatoes and green chiles"
2 cans chicken stock (or the equivalent in water and boullion)
1-2 tablespoons chile powder
1 teaspoon garam masala (optional, this is my secret ingredient)
tortilla chips
grated cheese
Cooking Steps:
In a soup pot over medium heat, add tomatoes & green chiles, stock, and spices. Bring to a boil, and simmer for a few minutes.
To serve:
Break up some tortilla chips into bowl, and top with some grated cheese. Ladle soup over it all. Eat.
Notes:
"Waste not, want not."
Usually, when I cut up a whole chicken, instead of discarding the backs and necks, I boil them (adding a little poultry seasoning). Then, reserving the broth, I de-bone and de-skin them . Next, I add the meat back to the broth and freeze it. When I have some of this chicken soup base in my freezer, I will substitute it for the stock in any recipe calling for chicken stock...like this one! (It gives just a little extra flavor and a little more protein)
