all better soup

in your soup pot:

4 cups of water

3 roma tomatoes

3 garlic cloves

1 white onion, large diced

2 chipotle peppers + 3 T adobo sauce

(from chipotle can)

2 bay leaves

bring this all to a boil and cook until tomatoes are mushy and onions are cooked. 

(if you want it less spicy remove chipoltes after cooking)

now place all contents of your pot minus 1/2 the water, and blend until smooth

then put back in sauce pot with the rest of the water 

add 1 can diced tomatoes

2 russet potatoes, diced

 cook until potatoes are done 

then add:

1 zucchini, in 1" strips

1 yellow squash, in 1" strips

1 white onion, diced

2 lg. portobellos, diced

1/2 cilantro, chopped

1 c. whole (41-50) small shrimp

salt to taste

(i buy contessa)

simmer till everything is fully cooked.

Then grab a bowl, squeeze a lime in it, and enjoy!

This soup can wipe the blues away from any day, its delicious...and nutritious!

I really hope you enjoy this soup...it so easy, super fast, and just good for the soul!
