Notes: Makes 4 or 5 servings. Nova likes it and I thought it was ok for soup.
Ingredients:
1/2 large onion, chopped
4 ounces mushrooms, quartered
2 bay leaves
2 cloves garlic, chopped or pressed
2 poblano chili peppers, toasted, seeded, and skinned (see Cooking Tips), and cut into strips
2 32 ounce cartons vegetable stock
2 cups of corn
2 large cooked red potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 bunch cilantro, rinsed and chopped
Juice of 3 limes
2 tomatoes, chopped
1 avocado, peeled and sliced
Corn tortillas strips – baked
Directions:
Sauté onion, mushrooms, and bay leaves on medium heat with a little water or low sodium vegetable broth in a large soup pot for 5 minutes, until onions brown.
Add garlic, chilies, and 1 cup of stock. Stir intermittently for 5 minutes, until peppers begin to soften.
Add remaining stock, corn, and potatoes. Cover and cook on medium heat for 10 minutes, until potatoes are tender.
Remove from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes.
Stir cilantro & lime juice into soup immediately before serving.
To Serve:
Place a handful each of tomatoes, avocados, and tortillas strips into large bowls.
Pour hot soup directly over vegetables and corn tortillas strips and serve.
