There’s this fabulous recipe (it’s almost like this one I’ve linked to here) for spicy Tomato Tortilla Soup that we use from Bobby Flay’s Bold American Food cookbook that I can’t get enough of & since it’s a cool, rainy day here in lovely Ann Arbor, MI, I thought it sounded great & I had quite a craving for it – so we made some for dinner…now I remember why I love this soup so much all over again; it’s so delicious & spicy & warm & it kicks Campbell’s “mmm-mmm good” butt any day! Top with tortilla strips, serve with homemade guacamole, & enjoy!
On a side note, Bobby Flay was my one celebrity sighting – he was doing a book signing here in town & we stood in line & had him sign one of his new cookbooks & I have to say that I felt a little bit like Jennifer Grey’s character, Baby, in Dirty Dancing when she said, ” I carried a watermelon” to Patrick Swayze; he asked me what our favorite recipe was in his cookbooks & after a bit of an awkward, star-struck delay on my part, this soup was definitely on my list.
