I recently purchased your Cook'n Recipe Software and love it! I have tried several other cookbook programs but found them unsatisfactory.

My main goal was to put my own recipes into a system that was easy and quick. I have put in about 20 so far, and I love it. It is so easy to use.

I have tried several of your recipes and they all have been wonderful!

Thank you!!

* Soups

Print this Recipe

Mexican soups are among the world's best, and they are a very important part of the cuisine. The Mexican kitchen has created a delicious variety of soups that fit almost any menu. Mexican soups are often categorized as caldo (a meat-, chicken-, or fish-broth soup with vegetables, herbs, and spices); sopa (soup or chowder); crema (puréed soup of vegetables which is usually, but not always, enriched with cream); pozole (hearty soup of dried corn [hominy], and pork or chicken, with fresh garnishes of lettuce or cabbage, radishes, and often avocado).

This chapter offers a sampler of both classic and innovative Mexican recipes. Tortilla soups, which include strips of crisp tortillas plus other savory ingredients, are very popular, and there are several here, including versions with chicken, the classic, as well as with shrimp, and with pork and vegetables. Other classics, such as Black Bean Soup and Cream of Fresh Corn and Poblano Chile Soup are also delicious starters. Another favorite is Pork and Red Chile Hominy Soup, a rich and spicy broth with hominy and pork that's great to serve to a crowd. Fava Bean Soup, Winter Squash Soup, and Cauliflower and Pecan Soup are special comfort soups while cold soups like Mexican Gazpacho and Avocado Soup are welcome and cooling on a hot day.

Eating soup in Mexico is not just about what fills the bowl, but also what it's served with. Fresh garnishes like avocado, tomato, shredded lettuce or cabbage, chopped onion, or chiles, and a refreshing dash of fresh lime juice, add layers of flavor and texture that each person can tailor to her or his taste.

Most of the soups in this chapter are really easy to make and many taste even better if made ahead, so when you plan a Mexican meal, do include soup.
