2021 A to Z Challenge and Feline Friday!! April 30, 2021


According to Wikipedia: The ocelot is a wild cat native to the southwestern United States, Mexico, and Central and South America, as well as the Caribbean islands of Trinidad and Margarita. A medium-sized cat, it is characterized by solid black spots and streaks on its coat, round ears, and white neck and undersides. 


Z is for Zesty Mexican Soup!


Here's the recipe! It's been super fun putting together 
this years A to Z challenge! Hope you enjoyed it too!

Zesty Mexican Soup

Ingredients:
2 cups cubed cooked chicken 
1 can (14 oz) chicken broth
1 can (11.5 oz) vegetable juice cocktail
1 can (11 oz) whole kernel corn, 
red and green peppers, undrained
1 cup Old El Paso™ Thick 'n Chunky salsa
1 can (4.5 oz) Old El Paso™ chopped green chiles
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro 
Directions:
1. In large saucepan, mix all ingredients except cilantro. Heat to boiling over medium-high heat.
2.Reduce heat to low; simmer 10 minutes or until thoroughly heated, stirring occasionally. Stir in cilantro.
Instead of crackers, you could serve this spicy soup garnished with a dollop of sour cream and corn tortilla chips.
This is a perfect soup for when you want to fix dinner quickly and it's tasty too! Enjoy!

  11. Kathe,

    Zesty Mexican Soup sounds yummy! I love Mexican food in general so a bowl of spicy goodness would be perfect on a cold day. Are you going to offer your A2Z soup recipe collection as pdf? That would be really cool!

    I fell terribly behind with keeping up with others last month, so it's time to redeem myself by playing a bit of catch up with you today. ;)

    Congratulations for finishing the challenge, my dear!
