Sunday evening my husband and I put a chicken with some veggies on the
stove to simmer all night. When we woke up, we had lots of tender
chicken to use this week and about 16 cups of rich and good-for-you
chicken stock. I used about half of our fresh stock and chicken to make Chicken Tortilla Soup.
I used the HH's recipe and mashed it with Sally Fallon's Mexican Soup
recipe in the Nourishing Traditions cookbook. Basically I took the HH's
recipe for soup (link above) and added 1 can tomato paste and 1/2 cup
fresh lime juice. I also eliminated the chopped tomatoes in light of the
addition of tomato paste. All that to say, I thought it was so yummy!
The lime juice really gave it a 'zing' in my opinion. Instead of using
homemade tortillas, this time I opted for Ezekiel 4:9 brand Sprouted
Grain Tortillas. The combo was great. And - a plus - Bram ate it, too.
We stretched the soup to feed the three of us through 2 dinners, and
then Bram and I enjoyed the tail end of the leftovers for lunch today.
Do you have any tried and true soup recipes you make for your family?
Here are a few snapshots of Bram the Ham at breakfast yesterday.
