Mama Casarez Tortilla Soup

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

• 3 14.5 oz. cans vegetable broth (I prefer Pritikin veggie broth)
• 1 small white onion (finely chopped)
• 2 4oz. can green chiles
• 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 8 oz. can tomato sauce
• 4 ears fresh yellow corn (shucked & cut off cob)
• Juice from 1 lime
• 4 tablespoon chopped cilantro
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 tablespoon flour
• Garnish: sliced advocado, yellow corn tortilla chips, sliced fresh tomato, and soy cheddar
• cheese

Directions:

1. Saute onion and chiles in oil.
2. Add remaining ingredients.
3. Simmer for 45 minutes.
4. While the soup is still simmering, sprinkle the flour in gradually (I use a sifter to prevent lumps).
5. Add salt and pepper to taste.
6. Garnish with advocado, tomato, chips, and cheese.
7. I especially enjoy this meal with an ice cold Corona or Dos Equis.
