Southwestern Soup

This is an easy dish, but has a distinct regional flavor. I like simmering it on the Egg with pecan wood chips because it infuses a nice smokey flavor to the soup.

    Gary,

    Looks and sounds great! Maybe some crumbled queso fresca on top?

    Thanks, Sweet Pea. You're an Honorary Texan, so give it a try. No looney in it, though. :laugh:

    I hadn't thought about it, Molly. Will it be anywhere near the size of Austin?

    I think smaller. Ask Mickey, he's got the scoop.

    Hi Gary, I had to copy that recipe to try later like Mickey. You are a heck of a man to cook in this heat ;) Cooking in the heat and packing heat...what a man!

    Please come to Plano. It is much smaller and we get to have more fun than cooking all day. Don't get me wrong there is food everywhere. In fact we had to give most of it to the people in the American Legion hall because we were all too full to eat anymore......it's a great, intimate, time to enjoy your egghead friends.

    Judy, you DID meet Pam in Austin, especially at the After Party. You probably thought she was too pretty to have anything to do with someone like me. :)

    Molly. Show Judy the picture of Pam and PhotoEgg fixing your Mini.

    That looks so incredibly good! I'd make it this weekend if it wasn't insultingly hot here right now. I am saving this to do this fall. I love the ingredients and the flavors blended in here. Thanks for sharing!

    Yeah Chris. I hear you. The soup has a little heat to it also, so we don't need any extra heat right now.

    Don't shout !

    It's a tad tepid in the valley, and I didn't want my face to glow by being outside too much.
