Another rainy, gray day. I had to move my starter garden plants in
their trays to a place under the overhang of the roof. They were
standing in an inch of water.
Something warm from a pot on the stove seemed like a good idea. The
following recipe is a road map. If I have homemade chicken stock I
use that, if I have home grown tomatoes I use them -- you get the
idea. The only constants are the amount of liquid, beans and bell
peppers. The rest is cook's choice.

I forgot them. Cut corn tortillas in strips, place on cookie sheet
and bake until crispy. Sprinkle the strips on the soup.

I like to add tortillas or tortilla chips to the soup and simmer a bit to soften the up. It's actual tortilla soup. :)

For chili con carne, I'll add crushed tortilla chips to the pot and simmer to thicken it up. My chili has the taste of toasted corn. It tastes great and a chili with a toasted corn taste is entirely appropriate as far as the region of origin goes.
