We've certainly been around our fair share of cold and virus germs this season. As a matter of fact, Courtney came down with a cold last weekend. It's my job to take care of everyone when they're feeling under the weather so when my family gets sick - I make homemade chicken soup. I'm sure there have been lots of studies done on whether or not homemade chicken soup has potential healing powers over germs and virus but to be perfectly honest, I'm not interested in the research. I don't know whether it's truly something in the soup or just the fact that it's made with love, but I do know that it makes a sick patient feel better. A warm bowl of homemade soup served on a tray with crackers and a 7up is guaranteed to make anyone feel better. The last time that Courtney was sick, I decided to stray from traditional chicken noodle soup and go with something a little less conventional - shrimp tortilla soup. I found this recipe on www.cookingplanit.com. It's creamy and hearty and delicious. Shrimp Tortilla Soup 2/3 cup carrot, sliced 2/3 cup onion, chopped 2 garlic cloves 2/3 cup celery 1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped 3 Tablespoons fresh lime juice 1 jalapeno 1 1/4 pounds shrimp, peeled and deveined 4 corn tortillas 14 ounce can petite diced tomatoes 3 cups seafood stock 1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder 1 teaspoon cumin 2 oregano 1 cup water
I love the rich flavor and the creamy texture - without having to add cream. You need to give this soup a try. What do you have to lose?
Ciao!
