Winter is FINALLY approaching - I can't wait to start making my hot hot soups... Here's a recipe that was given to me by my favorite Long Beach Mexican restaurant - Mexican Affair - they closed their doors a little over a year ago - I will miss them..

1/3 chicken base
1/2 TBSP salt
1 tsp oregano leaves
1 1/2 gallons water
6 corn tortillas cut into strips
8 oz grated jack and cheddar cheese

In a large pot add water, chicken base, and cook over medium heat until it comes to a boil. Add carrots, garlic powder, salt, oregano leaves, simmer for 5 minutes.

  1. Gracias! Although I still get a kick out of your definition of cold winters and mine. That soup will come in handy when everything is frozen stiff out here.
