Critique... - Bizymomma - 07-27-2006

Last night I fixed up a batch of Tortilla Soup...YUM, and decided to give the chiles rellenos from Issue 52/August.

They were good but lacked salt. I had to salt mine to eat it. Served them with homemade guac, and pico de gallo.

I used the poblano peppers which were kind of big. We only ate 2 of them,....so, I partial fried the other two, and put them in the deep freeze. I'm curious to see how they come out next time!

Angela, I started to say that is one of my favorites also, but the date didn't seem right. The one I made and liked so well was Turkey Tortilla soup from Dec. '05 - it had the Black Bean Salsa with it.

I'll have to look at the one you made again! Love rellenos and especially poblanos!!!

Jean,
My recipe was one from Wolfgang Puck. I haven't made the one from CAH yet!... Sry for the confusion!

I use Dean Fearings recipe--really good--he sells it in upscale stores for $20/48 oz can. High price chicken soup.

May I please have that recipe? I have already tried Chef Puck's recipe!

Old Bay, I just now noticed you mentioned your recipe...do you mind sharing? I would like to at least look at a chicken soup recipe that is worth $20/48 oz. can.
