    Glad to Katt. Here is the recipe.

    chicken Tortilla Soupffice:office" /><O:p></O:p>

    <O:p></O:p>

    You will need…<O:p></O:p>

    One chicken, either whole or cut into pieces (not skinless)<O:p></O:p>

    Chicken broth – about 4 cans<O:p></O:p>

    Carrots – 1 1/2 cup, peeled and chopped fine<O:p></O:p>

    Large Onion – peeled and chopped fine<O:p></O:p>

    One can Tomato sauce or one can Rotel (if you like a little spice)<O:p></O:p>

    ffice:smarttags" /><?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com><st1:City w:st=<ST1:place w:st="on">Monterrey</ST1:place></st1:City> Jack cheese (grated) – about 2 cups<O:p></O:p>

    Ripe avocado – one for each 3 people<O:p></O:p>

    Flour tortillas – buttered and toasted till crisp<O:p></O:p>

    Cilantro (fresh or dried)<O:p></O:p>

    Salt and Pepper<O:p></O:p>

    Ground Cumin<O:p></O:p>

    <O:p></O:p>

    In a large pan, cover the chicken with Water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cook (covered) until chicken is very tender. Remove chicken and set aside to cool. Strain broth and return to sauce pan. <O:p></O:p>

    (Note: you can make a lower fat version by refrigerating the broth overnight and then skimming off the fat)<O:p></O:p>

    Remove skin and bones from chicken. Chop the chicken into small pieces (or run it thru the food processor)<O:p></O:p>

    Add the additional chicken broth.<O:p></O:p>

    Add the chicken, carrots, onions, and tomato sauce. Add Cilantro, Cumin, Salt, and Pepper to taste. <O:p></O:p>

    Cook over low heat until vegetables are very tender. <O:p></O:p>

    Place a generous portion of grated cheese in the bottom of each serving bowl. Pour hot Soup over the top, then add sliced avocado and strips of toasted tortilla.<O:p></O:p>

    JUST SO I HAVE THIS RIGHT, YOU BOIL THE CHICKEN IN Water THEN ADD THE CHICKEN BROTH LATER

    I GOT CONFUSED WHEN IT SAID ADD THE ADDITIONAL CHICKEN BROTH

    THANKS :confused:

    Grilled asparagus

    Buy a bundle of asparagus, rinse it well. On a cutting board or flat surface, pour about 1 tbs of good quality olive oil. Put the asparagus on the surface and rub back and forth through the oil until it's completely but lightly covered. Dust with garlic salt. Wrap with bacon or proscuitto and secure with shishkabob sticks OR make sure you have the "ends" in the same place, so you can put them face-side down. Then just grill it until the meat is cooked well & the asparagus is done.

    DO YOU WRAP ONE PIECE OF BACON AROUND ONE ASPARAGUS?

    OR WRAP SEVERAL PIECES OF BACON AROUND THE BUNCH?

    CAN YA TELL I DON'T COOK MUCH BUT I'M TRYING :confused:

    In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth and populated the Earth with broccoli, cauliflower and spinach, green and yellow and red vegetables of all kinds, so Man and Woman would live long and healthy lives.

    Then using God's great gifts, Satan created Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream and Krispy Creme Donuts. And Satan said, "You want chocolate with that?" And Man said, "Yes!" and Woman said, "and as long as you're at it, add some sprinkles." And they gained 10 pounds. And Satan smiled. :phanvan

    And God created the healthful yogurt that Woman might keep the figure that Man found so fair. And Satan brought forth white flour from the wheat, and sugar from the cane and combined them. And Woman went from size 6 to size 14.

    So God said, "Try my fresh green salad." And Satan presented Thousand-Island Dressing, buttery croutons and garlic toast on the side. And Man and Woman unfastened their belts following the repast.

    God then said, "I have sent you heart healthy vegetables and olive oil in which to cook them." And Satan brought forth deep fried fish and chicken-fried steak so big it needed its own platter. :hungry: And Man gained more weight and his cholesterol went through the roof.

    God then created a light, fluffy white cake, named it "Angel food Cake," and said, "It is good." Satan then created chocolate cake and named it "Devil's Food."

    God then brought forth running shoes so that His children might lose those extra pounds. And Satan gave cable TV with a remote control so Man would not have to toil changing the channels. And Man and Woman laughed and cried before the flickering blue light and gained pounds.

    Then God brought forth the potato, naturally low in fat and brimming with nutrition. And Satan peeled off the healthful skin and sliced the starchy center into chips and deep-fried them. And Man gained pounds. :faint:

    God then gave lean beef so that Man might consume fewer calories and still satisfy his appetite. And Satan created McDonald's and its 99-cent double cheeseburger. Then said, "You want fries with that?" And Man replied, "Yes! And super size them!" And Satan said, "It is good." And Man went into cardiac arrest.

    God sighed and created quadruple bypass surgery.

    Then Satan created HMOs.

    MY VERY ACTIVE DADDY DIED AT A YOUNG AGE, REALLY HIT ME HARD :think SINCE THEN I'VE LEARNED, NEVER TAKE LIFE FOR GRANT, LIVE LIKE NO TOMORROW :eek:

    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!" <O:p</O:p
