When making chicken tortilla soup I finish the soup with fried tortilla strips while still in the pot and simmer 30 minutes to make the soup hearty. A chunky avocado salsa with lots of cilantro and fresh lime juice makes for a nice garnish.

Wcaterer 04:31:32 PM May 08 2009 Report This! OMG I cannot believe what idiots are in most Amercian kitchens!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You guys cannot even spell--flour--not flower you dummy!!! It is so funny to see you struggle with cooking--if you had been doing it forever like most women in America did until the last few decades--this wouldn't even be a challage!! But because of the lazy moms and dads in our world--I have made a good amount of money as a caterer and a restuarant owner!! I am sure most of those days are over--but maybe not when I read your posts!! Maybe I should become a blogger about how to raise a family and take care of a home--my mom taught me and Martha Stewert polished me--where were all of you???????????ahhhhh check your own spelling, before you correct someone elses. Amercian is American, challage is challenge, restuarant is restaurant, and Stewert is Stewart. I guess the people who wrote flower instead of flour, aren't the only dummy !!!
