Mexican Tomato Lime Soup

This recipe is from the cookbook "Moosewood Cooks at Home", published by Simon & Schuster. I was given this cookbook quite a few years ago from someone who had received a duplicate copy. I've made a few things out of it, but this one has been a real hit. It's quick, easy to make, and tastes really great!

We buy good quality tortilla chips to coarsely crush to go in the bottom of a wide brimmed soup bowl. Try President's Choice Lime & Habanero flavoured chips to kick up the heat in this soup!

This soup is a great starter, and is perfect for a hot summer day. Make lots as it keeps well in the fridge.

Here's a link to an online version of the recipe:

Moosewood Restaurant is located in Ithaca, NY, one of our favourite little towns to visit, and we always go to Moosewood when we're there. Ithaca is also the home of Cornell University, and has a really great pedestrian only area right in the downtown. Moosewood is just a block away, and there are lots of little restaurants, bookstores and shops to browse. There's also the Finger Lakes, beautiful gorges, etc. to explore.

We'll be featuring more recipes from this book in the coming months so stay tuned to this blog! Click on the photo below to check out the cookbook on Amazon.ca (you can browse the book online). I highly recommend this book!
