Okay, sorry, sorry, sorry...life has been crazy busy recently and I've been too exhausted to blog. But not to eat, though, so we have a lot to catch up on!
Today we'll cover CL's spicy tortilla soup with shrimp and avocado.
YUM. The soup took a bit longer to make than the "20 minutes" CL claimed, but then again, I didn't use pre-chopped veggies like they call for. My only other mods were no crushed tortilla chips (I felt like these calories were better saved for a glass of wine) and no salt, since they didn't have "no-salt-added fire-roasted diced tomatoes" (I mean really, that's a bit niche, don't you think?).
This soup was really great. Very flavorful, and packed a bit of heat, but it didn't linger so it wasn't unpleasant. The avocado added at the end makes it pretty unique, I think. And can I just say, I love hominy. It's like little tiny chewy dumpling bits, but it's actually just corn (see for yourself)! I made a note to myself to find some more recipes that use it, because it's just so delightful.
Anyways, this was a win for the CL. Enjoy!
