Tortilla Soup
This is a little lengthy, but so delicious, especially when the cold weather comes.
I have tried several of the recipes on this thread, and also the first thread, and have really enjoyed having something new. Thanks girls! Hugs. Judy


TORTILLA SOUP
4 Skinless, boneless raw chicken breasts – diced
1 stick margarine
½ cup canola oil
6 ribs celery – diced
4 cloves minced garlic (or 4 Tablespoons crushed garlic)
1 large onion – diced
1 Tablespoon Lemon Pepper
1-Tablespoon Salt
1-Tablespoon Cumin
1-Tablespoon Chili Powder
½ cup flour
4 Zucchini – sliced in rounds with peeling intact
1 (14 oz) can diced tomatoes
4 cans (10 oz) chicken broth or equal homemade stock
1 can whole kernel corn
1 fresh jalapeno, seeded & chopped (optional)
3 Tablespoons Hot Red Pepper Sauce (optional)
6 to 8 corn tortillas

GARNISHES:
Sour Cream
Diced Avocado
Grated Cheddar Cheese
Cilantro
Fresh Chopped Jalapenos
(I prefer not to have my soup too hot to the taste, and
therefore don’t use the jalapeno or red pepper sauce)

Heat butter and oil in a large kettle, and sauté chopped onion, jalapeno,
Garlic, celery and chicken. Simmer 5 minutes. Combine with cumin,
Chili power, salt, lemon pepper, hot pepper sauce and flour. Add
Tomatoes, corn, zucchini and chicken stock and simmer for 1 hour.

TO SERVE:
Cut corn tortillas into strips, and fry until crisp. Serve soup in a bowl, top
with grated cheddar cheese, sour cream, diced avocados, and place fried
tortilla strips either on top, or on the side. (Add jalapeno and cilantro if desired)

ENJOY!

You probably could
You probably could substitute another steak for the round if you wanted. But, the round is cheaper. If you make it, I hope you like it.

So, I could use sirloin? Cause I do have that in the freezer. That might even be better. What do you think?

Traci's Potato-Leek Soup
I have a hard time eating any vegetables for about a week after each chemo, and many of you suggested potatoes, potatoes, potatoes. I’ve made this delicious soup for many years, and it freezes and reheats very well, so I made a batch and froze it in individual portions. It was perfect after chemo -- so easy to just take out of the freezer and heat in the microwave when I didn’t feel like cooking anything, and easy on my stomach, too.

4 large leeks
2 tablespoons butter
about 4 cups canned low-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth (you may need a little more or less)
2 large russet potatoes
1 cup milk (optional)
Freshly ground black pepper

Garnishes:
Chopped fresh chives or green onions
Grated cheddar cheese

Cut off the stalk of each leek (discard the leafy part), wash very thoroughly, and slice into thin slices.

Wash and peel potatoes, but leave some skin on. Dice.

Sauté leeks in butter over medium heat in large saucepan or small stockpot until tender, but do not brown.

Add broth and potatoes, cover pot and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.

Add milk, if using. Season with a little freshly ground black pepper. Purée soup with immersion/hand blender or in batches in the blender -- I like to leave it a little chunky. Return pureed soup to pot and heat through. Sprinkle with chives, green onion, and/or grated cheese and serve.

Serves 3, as a main dish
