Love this chicken tortilla soup! http://southernfood.about.com/od/chickensouprecipes/r/bl41107a.htm
However, I use corn tortillas for frying, and I also add a bit of guacamole and a bit of sour cream in each bowl, right before digging in. So good!

My favorite recipe is so simple:
2 potatoes peeled and diced, cooked until just tender
10 oz package of spinach, thawed
1 can of diced tomatoes
1 can of unsweetened coconut milk
1-2 t of curry powder
1 can chickpeas drained and rinsed
I just toss everything into the pan and let it simmer for about 30 minutes on a medium to low heat. You can use frozen cubed potatoes as well, and adjust all the quantities. It makes a really tasty and creamy curry. I serve it with homemade naan or brown rice. My toddler even loves it.
This is a great recipe as well

At our house we make our own cranberry sauce. We combine
a cup of water, a cup of sugar and a bag of fresh cranberries.
Stir occasionally until it comes to a boil and all the cranberries
pop. Allow to cool. Tastes much better than canned cranberry
sauce.
Thanks for the contest. Happy holidays.
Cool! My wife would love this!
