Tortilla Soup

From the family recipe box

Mains

The book has this recipe more than once. Also here as Tortilla Soup in Recipe Box. Same dish, different piece of paper — kept separately on purpose, because each copy came into the house its own way.

Read this one with the card open. Something on it is illegible, missing or ambiguous. It is transcribed exactly as written — nothing has been guessed or filled in — and every uncertainty is marked below.

Written on the card as "Tortia Soup."

Ingredients

  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 bay leaf
  • onions (quantity written as an abbreviation, illegible — possibly "4 ea")
  • 1 carrots
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • chicken — cut into strips
  • tortillas — cut into strips
  • sour cream & scallions, to top

Method

Sauté onions, carrots and garlic together, add chicken broth. 30 min.

Chicken and tortillas cut into strips.

Top with sour cream & scallions.

Notes

publish: needs-review. The card is a rough working note, not a finished recipe: - The onion quantity is an abbreviation that cannot be read with confidence. - No quantity is given for the chicken or the tortillas. - Whether the tortilla strips are fried, baked or added raw is not stated. - Braces on the card group the ingredients into steps; the transcription follows that grouping.
