Mexican Chicken Chowder: New Recipe Of The Week

Today's new recipe was Mexican Chicken Chowder from the cookbook Against All Grains. The soup consisted of chicken, some homemade Roasted Tomatilla Salsa from the same cookbook, chicken broth, cubed sweet potatoes, sliced carrots, lime juice, garlic, and fresh spinach. I wasn't sure I was going to like the recipe because of the sweet potatoes, but it turned out to be quite tasty. It is probably one of my favorite soups.

Against All Grain's Mexican Chicken Chowder

 In this recipe the soup was thickened without using any flour or cornstarch. This thickening trick is one I just recently learned. After all of the ingredients are cooked, ladle out some of the vegetables and put them in a blender with a little bit of the soup liquid. Blend it up until it is smooth. Then add it back in to the soup and ta da...your soup is thickened.

Against All Grains is one of my favorite sites to get recipes from. I have not tried one of her recipes that I haven't liked. This is the site where I found the recipe for grain free tortillas. I'm glad there are those people who create these delicious recipes for us to prepare!
