Sassy Soup Stands in for Sunshine -- Sort of

It's one of those Oregon springs where you take what you can get.  And I'm talking about sunshine here.  Instead of counting on 70-degree days for gardening, you work in spurts between rainstorms. And that is just how we installed a new raised-bed salsa garden in our front yard.

But that project is a story for another time.  Right now I want to talk about soup.

I cannot tell you if soup is really good for the soul. But I'm convinced the right soup will raise your spirits on a drizzly day.  This Tortilla Soup will do just that -- and it's certainly reminiscent of sunny places.

The taste of chili, cilantro, tomatoes, corn, beans, avocado and chicken with a smack of lime will tingle your taste buds and will take little effort in the kitchen.

It's a one-dish meal that is a perfect finale to a day dodging showers and planting vegetables. Try it and see if you agree.  Si?
