Salsa Verde Soup

 

IMAG2082I love to cook. That might be obvious.

But the inspiration is what changes from dish to dish.

This time it was a beautiful image of a green soup in a white bowl. It haunted me.

I wanted to make it. I think most people see food and just want to eat it. I do too, but after I’ve created it for myself.

This is one that I needed to make and I needed to make it soon. I couldn’t stop thinking about the green soup.

Here it is.

It has a bright and acidic flavor and the meat is super tender. The whole thing almost melts in your mouth.

Feel free to garnish with avocados, cilantros or queso fresco.
