Spicy Mexican Style Vegetable Soup with Tortellini

Written by Published on Updated on October 22, 2019 in Uncategorized

Hello Foodie Friends, 

How is everyone? Did anyone do anything special?   I have been trying to make a room in my house look more like an office.  So far it doesn’t seem to be working out. I need a larger desk, a few DIY bookcases etc. Most of my books and cookbooks are placed on a plastic bookcase that is falling apart. 

Half of the room looks like a photo studio, and the other half looks like a classroom. hahahhha.  The only item that I do not need  to replace is my beautiful white comfy chair. 🙂  I almost forgot to mention that Charlie has brought most of his toys into this room.  🙂  I do spend most of the day in this room, so he is usually likes to be in here with me. 🙂  It is a small room but I don’t mind I like the cosiness of the room.

Over the weekend, I was able to take down some of my cookbook and old recipes.  I took a look at some of the recipes I have accumulated over the years and  I came across some great Vegetable recipes that I have kept in a small notebook for over 25 years.  As I was skimming through my recipes, I asked myself wouldn’t it be interesting to try and combine the Mexican and Italian  cusines and see what comes out of it. 

My dear friend Rosie from Mexico, has sent me so many recipes in the past that I still have not been able to get too.  I went to the kitchen and started to experiment with a little bit of this, and a little bit of that. And a few more ingredients and the end result was this delicous, warm Mexican Style Spicy Soup. 

Have a Happy Monday!!

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie
