Today is a gray, rainy day in the Napa Valley, and it calls for soup. This was one of my dad's favorites; mine too. Healthy, yummy, it hits the spot on a cold day like this.
2 Tbs. olive oil
4 cloves minced garlic
1 cup finely chopped onion
3 medium tomatoes, peeled & chopped
1/2 cup chopped green chiles
1 Tbs. flour
2 quarts hot chicken or vegetable broth
2 1/2 cup peeled, chopped (bite-sized) potatoes
2tsp. salt
1tsp.pepper
2 carrots, thinly sliced
1thinly sliced medium zucchini
jack cheese, cubed, for garnish
Heat oil in a 3-qt. saucepan, add the next 4 ingredients and saute for 3 minutes. Continue stirring as you pour in the hot broth. Add potatoes and S&P. Cover and simmer on Low for 15 minutes. Add carrots and zucchini and cook (at least) another 15 minutes,until potatoes are tender.
To serve, put cubed jack cheese in the bottom of each bowl and ladle the soup over the top of it.
Comfort food, ahhhh.......
Wow! That sounds WONDERFUL! I'm going to have to try that!
