Amy & Jamie: Rustic Tortilla Soup
So far we’ve brought you exciting tales of brick steaks, competition chicken, and a southern apple and walnut salad in this new little bloggy series Amy & Jamie. It rhymes which makes me both giggle and feel very proud of myself at the same time.
Today it’s Rustic Tortilla Soup. It is supposed to come out looking like this.
Ours looked something more like this.
More like distant cousins than brother and sister, but we imagine (as always) as equally delisioso.
In fact the only real difference is that ours was soupier. If we had slow cooked it longer, maybe in a Crock Pot even, I think it would have come out much chunkier and Jamie-like. Also this photo was taken before we loaded it up with tortilla chips. That’s a lot of excuses for a soup that came out really tasty.
The basis of this recipe? Cook a bunch of tomatoes, onions and peppers and suprisingly few spices together for a long time. Mix it up with some chicken broth and water and cook for a really long time. Toss in tortilla chips and avocado for extra yumminess.
No broken spoons this time, no carnage in the kitchen just some good soup and happy stomachs. If we had to improve it we’d cook it longer next time, and toss some shredded chicken into the mix. We’re carnivores like that.
