I am going to make this for dinner. Ree Drummond's recipe. No avocado in my
portion and I will likely use a Mexican cheese rather than the Jack And
probably half the amount of beans. We don't need a huge pot of soup. Here's
her recipe:

https://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/...tortilla-soup/

In looking at recipes, I see quite a bit of variation.

Do you make this soup? If so, is your version like this? I have had it in
restaurants before but I don't recall it having beans in it.

I started with her recipe years ago. In my experience the black beans
are essential to the soup, they are part of the character of the
soup.

I make a similar soup but mine uses soft/fresh corn tortillas, stacked
and cut into ~3/8" wide noodles with a pizza cutter, as long/short as
you like. I use pork and make a stock from shoulder chops. I don't
use cilantro, to me it tastes like soap... I prefer green onions.

Well, knowing Julie, she would have left out the avocado from her
portion, replaced the Jack with a Mexican cheese and used half the
amount of beans.

Actually, yer computer is a msss. Julie's link worked perfectly in my
W10 Bing browser (Edge?). Makes sense, as my new box is W10 and I like
it --a lot!-- cuz my Linux box has NO good graphics

Izzat the Pioneer Woman? Pretty funny, as she has about a jillion
dollars in graphics on that one recipe alone. I bailed after about 3
doz pics of sed recipe. Lordy, that woman do break it down.

The movie, Tortilla Soup, is hilarious. It's the SoCal version of Eat,
Drink, Man, Woman. Turn down Raquel Welch? I don't think so.

Looks good except for the garbanzo beans. Not sure they belong. The soup I
made is good but... I cooked it for less time and didn't add the water, only
because I didn't realize how long the cook time was. I did use both cans of
beans, used a whole green and a whole orange pepper and added more chili
powder.

While good, it's not the same as you get in restaurants here. I looked at
several online menus last night. None contain beans of any kind.

Weird. I only had it once in a restaurant but there were no beans. And none
listed on any of the menus I looked at. If anything, I feel like I want more
beans in this but then I love beans!

How is the link a mess? I used it to make the recipe. I did not add the
water. I cooked it for less time because I was pressed for time. I used two
peppers. One orange, one green. About twice the chili powder and a little
salt and pepper. Did not change it much at all. I do like it.

Heh. I actually used all of the beans but the rest is correct.

It's not.

The recipe, itself, is off to the right side. A link that sez, "RECIPE"
opens a huge drop down menu (below):

***********

2 whole Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1-1/2 teaspoon Cumin
1 teaspoon Chili Powder
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1 cup Diced Onion
1/4 cup Diced Green Bell Pepper
1/4 cup Red Bell Pepper
3 cloves Garlic, Minced
1 can (10 Oz. Can) Rotel Tomatoes And Green Chilies
32 ounces, fluid Low Sodium Chicken Stock
3 Tablespoons Tomato Paste
4 cups Hot Water
2 cans (15 Oz. Can) Black Beans, Drained
3 Tablespoons Cornmeal Or Masa
5 whole Corn Tortillas, Cut Into Uniform Strips Around 2 To 3 Inches
_______
FOR THE GARNISHES:
Sour Cream
Diced Avocado
Diced Red Onion
Salsa Or Pico De Gallo
Grated Monterey Jack Cheese
Cilantro

************

The recipe is also repeated at the bottom, after a sh*tload of pictures.
Works great in my W10 box with Winblows and Edge browser.

I gotta stop defending you. It's making me crazy!

>Heh. I actually used all of the beans but the rest is correct.

I started with this recipe, but because I grow my own peppers I use
jalapenos and Hatch peppers to my taste instead.
When in a hurry I have made this with rotisserie chicken and boxed
stock if necessary.
Generally I make this when I cook a whole chicken in the pressure
cooker. Then I have hearty stock and plenty of chicken. I've always
used the two cans of beans, rinsed. Lots of bell pepper and shredded
chicken.
I don't use a recipe any longer. The only things measurable are the
one can of diced tomatoes and the two cans of black beans. I don't
use any masa or tomato paste. I don't care for thickening in my soup.
No toppings except I do make the corn tortilla strips. Brush the
tortillas lightly with oil, sprinkle coarse salt, cut and bake until
crispy.
The whole soup is a meal and very tasty.

There's a lot of things I cook with no recipe now, because I've done
them so often I simply adapt on the fly.

I think I do a fairly good job of adding in the amounts though to
represent them.

Here's a Swedish Sweet semi-flat rye we made yesterday. Nominally
called swedish as it is similar to a style I know as that. It's not
authentic at all to Sweden as far as I know. I think I sent the recipe
yesterday but the distinctive thing to it was it comes out like a
plyable thick rye based tortilla or 'hand bread' (meaning pickup food
with it).

I usually change a lot of them out too.

Thats what real cooks do. Some may try the recipe 'as written' the
first time but I tend to blend 3-4 recipes and select what we like
among them. Like when I came up with our home sausage blend? I used 4
recipes and saw what we liked the best then blended the mix from that.

What are you talking about, Carol? I looked at the link and it gave
very clear instructions for making Ree Drummond's Tortilla Soup.

All Julie wanted to know was have any of us made it. (Not me.)

I've made some really good recipe changes at times that suit us, but
sometimes they are a fail with nobody to blame but myself, live and learn.

In many cases here there are things D. dislikes so I leave them out and sub
something else. Not always though. I just get an idea about something and
try it out

I've made some nearly unpalatable dishes. I tell my wife that it isn't
very good, but there's soup in the cupboard and cold cuts in the fridge
if she wants to serve herself. She always manages to choke the meal
down without disturbing the cupboard or fridge.
We're having stew meat stroganoff tonight. I've made it enough to know
she'll like it. I'm serving buttered Dutch crunch loaf slices with it.

That sounds really good. We're having pork roast, mashed potatoes, gravy,
and acorn squash.

Yesterday was my husband's birthday. He asked for chicken piccata,
rice, and green beans. My track record on piccata isn't perfect, but
I managed quite a good one last night.

I'm probably not cooking again tomorrow. Still have leftovers. Seems that my
gardener is now going for a healthy concoction of things that when combined
would likely make most people gag, so I'm not going to list it all off
except to say that it's a bunch of stuff on a corn tortilla, most of which
IMO does not belong on any kind of tortilla.

I do like corn tortillas, but not flour tortillas so much.
