Guest guest Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 This is a very favorite soup of mine. It's raining right now and this popped into my mind.All I have to pick up is chard. Donna " San Cristobal Vegetable Soup " 3 quarts of water 1 red onion (I used a sweet brown one) 5 garlic cloves, chopped 1 cup celery, chopped 2 Tblspns. olive oil 5 Italian (roma) tomatoes, peeled and chopped 1 bunch of Swiss chard about (1/4 to 1/2 lb.) chopped 3 carrots, chopped 1 chayote squash, chopped 1/2 cup fresh parsley chopped (I used cilantro) 1 tsp. fresh thyme or 1/2 tsp. dried 1 tsp. oregano 1 potato diced (I added this, recipe doesn't call for it) 2 small whole chipotle chiles (I used 3/4 of one, I'm scared LOL) sea salt to taste Put the 3 quarts of water on to boil. Saute onion in olive oil and then add the garlic and celery, saute 5 mins. over medium flame. Loosen skins of the tomatoes by putting them in the boiling water for a few minutes and them in cold water. Peel, seed and chop the tomatoes, and add to the onion mixture, stirring occasionally. Add the Swiss chard and continue to stir for 5 mins. Add the remaining ingredients to the water along with the sauteed onion chard mixture to the water, bring to boil and simmer for 1/2 hour. Remove the chilies. If you want the soup to be spicy, blend the chiles with a little broth and return to the soup. You can blend some of the vegetables to thicken soup. (I added a large diced potato to mine when cooking.) Serve hot with soft, hot tortillas and some salsa.
