    List of Ingredients




    Tortilla Soup

    12, 6 inch corn tortillas
    2 teaspoons + 1 teaspoon 1 tablespoon Olive oil
    1 medium finely chopped Spanish onion
    1/2 cup finely chopped celery
    2 cups finely chopped celery
    2 cups frozen corn
    2 cups cut green beans
    3 large cans whole tomatoes (or equivalent amount of fresh tomatoes)
    salt to taste
    dash hot sauce
    fat free sour cream, optional

    Cut the tortillas into 1 1/2 inch squares.
    Saute them quickly in the 2 teaspoons of oil until crispy. Pat
    dry with paper towels to remove any excess oil; and wrap in
    more paper towels to keep warm> Set aside.
    Saute the onion in the 1 teaspoon oil until golden.
    Place the tomatoes and hot sauce in a blender/food processor
    and puree. Then pour into a stockpot.
    Add the onions, celery, corn, green beans and cabbage.
    Bring to a boil, then let simmer for about 20 minutes, or until
    the vegetables are tender.
    Place the sauteed tortilla squares into soup bowls.
    You may add a dash more hot sauce and some salt before serving
    for a little extra zip, if desired.
    Serve with a dollop of sour cream, if desired.
    Makes 6 - 8 servings.
