Ingredients:

  • 1/2-3/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp celery salt
  • 1/4 tsp oregano
  • 1/8 tsp comino , to taste
  • 1/2 cup chopped green chili pepper (canned variety just won'tsp do. try to serving some fresh frozen new mexico green chiles like bueno food)
  • 4 cups water
  • 2 -4 key limes, quartered (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro (optional)
  • 2 cups chopped lettuce (optional)

Directions:

  1. Brown the meat in a large (3 quart) saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add potatoes and cook until the potatoes turn brown on the edges, about 10 minutes.
  3. Add 1/2 cup onion, garlic and seasonings, cook for 3 minutes.
  4. Add water and green chiles, cover and simmer on low heat until potatoes are tender, about 20-30 minutes.
  5. Put limes in a small bowl, cilantro in a small bowl, lettuce in a small bowl, and the leftover onion (if you stil have the 1/4 cup leftover)- use them like condiments or garnishes that your guests can put in their soup if they would like.
  6. This is just an option- since I now live in Texas, most of my Mexican friends use these condiments, and they really do enhance flavors and texture of soups like caldillo, posole, and menudo.
  7. Enjoy!
