Tortilla Soup

You know are blessed if you have wonderful trustworthy friends around you..Touch wood when you read this as I am blessed to have one. Sharing Pallavi's Tortilla Soup which we all absolutely loved. She is a wonderful cook herself and I might be just sharing a lot more from her kitchen and many more recipes from my friends circle..

Ingredients:
1 Stalk of Celery
1 Carrot peeled
1/2 Roma tomato
1/2 onion
1 clove garlic
1/4 of a small cabbage
1/2 of any color pepper
1/2 a ripe avocado
1 can of corn
1/2 can of black beans
1-2 tsps of green chillies
1 Adobo chilli
1/2 can of Organic Veg Broth
Hot water ~ 3 cups ( use as needed)
A handful of tortilla chips
1 tsp of any southwest masala

Method:

Blend all the above ingredients in a blender. Add hot water as needed to make it thinner.
Serve hot with a dollop of sour cream & shredded cheese. Also add cubes of avocado & fried tortilla strips.
You may leave the corn & beans a little crushed instead of purred for texture & visual appeal :)

Enjoy!!
