SOPA SECA DE TORTILLA
A rich and creamy Mexican side dish - full of peppers, onions, cheese and corn tortillas. It will surprise you. The name means "Dry Tortilla Soup" Some people would call it a casserole. I call it divine. A nice addition to a Mexican dinner, this also goes well with other foods. Not spicy at all, so it can go with many things. Though it is meant to be a side dish, you could serve it along with a large salad for a luncheon or light dinner. (Or, not so light, maybe) This is so rich and creamy, you'll want to make it for company. If you must have spicy foods, you can add some jalepenos to it if you like. But do try it this way first.

SOPA SECA DE TORTILLA CON CREMA (MEXICAN DRY SOUP)
I visited my best friend (Magga) over the Easter holiday & borrowed a few cookbooks from her. I was immediately drawn to *Taste of Mexico* by Elisabeth L. Ortiz, found this recipe among her collection of "70 fiery & flavourful recipes from south of the border" & learned some new lessons on authentic Mexican cuisine. Her intro to the *Soups* section says "Soups are a must for the midday main meal (comida). There are 2 types: aguada (liquid) & seca (dry). The 1st term is self-explanatory, but what is a dry soup? It describes a separate course (traditionally a tortilla or rice dish) served after the more conventional soup & before the main course." I never knew that & this "dry soup" sounds so good to me. (Times were estimated & 15 min allowed for ingredient prep + assembly) *Enjoy* !

Steps:
- Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a non-stick fry pan. Saute onion + garlic till soft & stir in chopped tomato.
- Cook tomato till thick, then stir in oregano & sugar. Season to taste & set aside in a bowl.
- Wipe the pan clean w/paper towels, heat the remaining oil in the pan & fry the tortillas without allowing them to brown. Drain fried tortilla strips on paper towels.
- Pour a layer of the tomato sauce into a greased flameproof casserole. Add a layer of tortilla strips, a thin layer of cream, another layer of sauce & a layer of grated cheese. Continue till all ingredients have been used, ending w/a layer of cheese.
- Cover casserole & heat through gently on the stovetop ~ or heat through for about 20 min in an oven preheated to 180C (350F).
- *Cooks Tip* ~ Be sure to use corn tortillas for this recipe. If only lrg ones are available, use 8.
- *Personal Note* ~ Altho not a part of the recipe or its authentic intent, I can easily see this dish 1) Converted to a main-course w/the addition of seasoned grd meat or chorizo to the sauce *or* 2) Combined w/a salad to form a meatless main-dish.

TORTILLA "DRY SOUP" CASSEROLE ( SOPA SECA DE TORTILLA
This is a wonderfully spicy casserole of sorts. Because it has cream cheese, strips of tortillas, it could be classified with chilaquiles. This is just amazing! If you need more heat, sprinkle some red pepper flakes in, or some hot sauce of your choice. Tradition calls for either lard or shortening. You can use salad oil, as I do.

Not your traditional soup: the Mexican name of this recipe literally translates as "dry soup" so there is no liquid. Fideo noodles are fried, then stirred into a quick tomato sauce and simmered until noodles absorb it. Serve with grated aged cheese.

- Briefly toast the chiles by using tongs to carefully holding each chile an inch over a gas flame, turning for a few seconds until the chile is blistered and fragrant. (Or alternately, if you have an electric stove, you can heat a skillet over medium-high heat and press the chiles down onto the hot skillet on each side for a few seconds until blistered and fragrant.) Transfer the chiles to a blender or food processor and set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté for 5 minutes until softened, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes more until fragrant, stirring frequently. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the mixture to the blender along with the chiles.
- Add the tomatoes to the blender, along with 1 cup or so of the stock (enough to help the mixture purée easily). Then purée until completely smooth and no large chile flakes remain.
- Transfer the blended broth mixture to the stockpot, add the remaining stock, oregano and epazote sprig (if using). Cook over medium-high heat until the broth reaches a simmer. Then reduce heat to medium-low to maintain the simmer and cook, uncovered, for 10 minutes.

- Using your hands, form the dough into a big ball. The dough should be firm and springy when touched, not dry or super sticky. If the mixture is too dry, add more water in small amounts until the dough is springy and holds together.
- Place the dough ball in the bowl and cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Let the dough rest for 20 minutes. This will help ensure that all the water gets absorbed.
