As I’ve mentioned on here before, one reason I love living with my grandma is getting to spend time with her in the kitchen — she is teaching me so many wonderful recipes! {such as: curried butternut squash & apple soup / asian chicken curried salad / apple cake with brown sugar glaze … mmm!}
Today I have a new recipe to share, one of my very favorites, perfect for the drizzly weather we’ve been having here lately:
grandma’s tortilla soup
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 6 scallions, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup diced tomatoes {canned or fresh}
- 3 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
- ½ cup chopped cilantro
- ½ tsp oregano
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup frozen corn kernels
- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
1. In a large saucepan, heat 2 tsp olive oil over low heat.
2. Add half the scallions and the garlic and cook about one minute, until scallions are tender.
3. Stir in tomatoes, broth, ¼ cup cilantro, oregano, salt, and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook ten minutes.
4. Add corn and cook another few minutes.
5. To serve, stir in tortilla chips, remaining scallions, cilantro, lime juice.
Bonus: this soup makes the house smell aaaaaamazing!! Enjoy!
