  • Smoky Chicken-Tomato Soup

    This is another catch-up post — we had this spicy (maybe a little too spicy for Lisa) soup last week, but I was too busy to put it up. It comes from Healthy Latin Cooking. Lisa says: Spicy! Chris says: Yeah, it’s perfect… just the way I like it. Lisa says: You always forget that […]

I’m not sure how close it is to traditional recipes, but we both really enjoyed this soup […]
