Sopas

by Patricia Quintana

Overview

In Soups we find a profound blending of flavors, combining spices, and the essence of aromatic herbs and tender vegetables. The warmth of the soup is joined with the shades of greens, reds, and yellows of the chili peppers, chayotes, tomatoes, carrots, and potatoes. All of this merges into a warm, artful encounter of light or thick soups. This volume brings together some of the most exquisite soups that are made in many of the regions of Mexico, according to the traditions of the grandmothers, in the wood-burning ovens or bubbling in pans or clay casseroles. Have your senses seduced by milpa soup, which combines the flavors of cilantro, beans, prickly pear, and black mushroom; Xóchitl broth, which fuses pumpkin flower petals, chipotle chilies, and ranch cheese; shrimp Huatape, which evokes the scents of the ocean accompanied with aromatic epazote and the sting of the green chili. Enjoy cream of cheese soup a la Tequila, an exquisite combination of gruyere and parmesan cheeses, Chihuahua with chili poblano and tequila, and many more in this book.
