tortilla soup

[nibot]

It's finally gotten cold here in southern louisiana (hey, it hit 38° one night!). The following recipe really hit the spot:

- soup stock of some kind
- tortilla chips (corn)
- cheese (grated)
- bunch of cilantro (chopped)
- salsa (chunky, spicy)

This sounds like an unnecessarily contrived concoction, but it turned out to be unexpectedly delicious, and perfect for these chilly autumn nights. Heat up the soup (I was told to use chicken stock but instead used a carton of tomato basil soup from whole foods), add the salsa. Put tortilla chips in a bowl, sprinkle cheese on them, and pour in the soup. Add generous helping of cilantro. Warm, spicy, and delicious.

The answer to this is that the recipe came from Trader Joe's. Their whole goal is to make EASY recipes that non cooks can make. Hence the jar of salsa. But hey, it works!!! In fact I'm craving some of this soup right now, even though it is after ten at night and I've got two days of turkey dinner under my belt--quite literally!
