Tortilla Soup (with photos)

This is a reworking of our original version of Tortilla Soup. This recipe is incredibly flavorful and since it’s an easily modifiable recipe, the ‘heat’ is determined by your preference.

Enjoy my homemade tortilla strips in this luscious soup.

Thanksgiving Table Decoration (Oreo Cookie Turkey)

Each year we try to find some sort of cute and edible table decoration for Thanksgiving.  Here’s a Thanksgiving tasty turkey table top treasure made with Oreo cookies, malted milk balls and candy corn.

Ruhlman's Turkey Stock: Oven Style

Go figure!

I just did essentially this making stock in the oven -- Granted, Michael Ruhlman's is a bit more in depth than mine (i.e. the stove top after oven), but that's to be expected, no?Nevertheless, it's nice to see the further perpetuation of not throwing out the turkey carcass. 

I say:  let's rename the day after Thanksgiving's Black Friday and call it Stock Friday or Turkey Soup Friday.  Who wants to deal with the chaos and crowds when one can be home with luscious soup made from homemade stock.
