This soup was a recipe I would have skipped right past some years ago. Loaded with vegetables, including some less common like tomatillos, and garnished with meatballs, it would have seemed too spicy, too tomato-ey, too weird. But lo! I now eat lots of things that would have evoked a shudder or a shrug in the olden days.
The veggies: onions, carrots, celery, garlic, tomatillos, eight serrano and jalapeno chiles, tomatoes in puree
The broth: dry white wine and chicken stock (hand-did, thank you very much!)
The spices: cumin, coriander, hot chile powder
The meatballs: chicken and pork
The finishing touch: lime juice, rice wine vinegar, lots of Tabasco, salt and pepper
Very spicy, very tasty. The meatballs were supposed to be all chicken but I supplemented with pork and think that probably improved the flavor. Everything is better with pork, right?
I have four pints to freeze for future meals. After all, winter isn't over yet and this is definitely a way to warm up! And Bob loves hot-flavored food, even if he lets his food temperature cool off way more than he should.
ha ha ha, hand did!
ReplyDeleteI love having soup in the freezer. This one looks especially delicious! The comment link on your DB challenge isn't workin :-( Love the graham cracker peanut butter picture. I'm going to have to give that combo a try!
