LIME SOUP!!!
This soup is super delicious- and is a staple in Mexican food. Often you'll have it as an "appetizer" for lunch. It's really really simple to make too! Bonus!
Ingredients: 1 Large Onion, 1 Jalepeno, 4 cloves garlic, 4 tomatillos (will explain later), 5 tablespoons chicken bullion, 2ish pounds chicken, limes, and a bushel of cilantro.
First you're going to dice the onion and the garlice cloves and put them in a crockpot. I know, I use the crockpot for everything- I guess I'm just combining the Mexican and Utah cultures.
Next you're going to dice up the (cooked) chicken and add that to the crockpot as well
Now let me explain the tomatillos (to-ma-ti-yos). These look a little bit like green tomatoes, with a sort of husk around it when you buy them. You want to make sure that there is no damage to the "husk" or the actual tomatillo before you buy it. I once heard that a tomatillo is most similar to a pomegranate... I don't know why they would say that. So, you remove the husk, wash the outside (because they are actually pretty sticky on the outside) and....
Put it in a blender with some water AND the jalepeno (seeds and stem removed) Then....
Blend that sucka! Add the mixture to the crockpot.
Then you add water (fill it up about halfway) bullion (to taste), oregano, and the juice from 2 limes
Cook for about 3 hours on high and garnish with more limes and cilantro. Enjoy!
Easy right? Sorry about the low quality pictures, my camera ran out of batteries and so I had to use my cell phone. I know that the last picture looks sort of sketch, and perhaps you're wondering if you should actually eat that- but I promise it's a combination of the lighting, and my cell phone, don't worry.
So- what do you think? Do you like these recipes? Would you like to hear more about my life? Touching stories? I'm never really sure everyone wants to hear or enjoys the most about this blog- so if you have suggestions, let me know! :)
