Pati Jinich has provided a number of recipes that warm the stomach, heart and soul, and this Tortilla Soup is one of the best, and easiest, to bring a little heat into the cold fall nights. The magic is in the guajillo chili peppers, which are a secret ingredient that should be in the arsenal of every casual cook’s kitchen. They keep forever, and with a little rehydrating they bring flavor, heat, and an earthy layer of goodness that reminds me of how important our connection to food is. The full recipe may be found on Pati’s site here.
When I made it most recently, we were in the midst of a chilly and rainy Sunday night – I was exhausted and tired, so I left out the fun details and garnishes, but the basic gist was there, and it was more than enough to warm the heart.
PS – Check out this insanely good chipotle pasta chicken dish that Ms. Jinich shared – it’s game-changing. Her website has lots of delicious treats like this. Very much worth a visit.
