Recipe for Scott and Noah...Tarascan Bean Soup.

Monday, 28. July 2008, 00:07:12

This creamy smooth bean soup is named for the Tarascan Indians who live in the mountains of the Patzcuaro region of Mexico in the state of Michoacan. The major town, Patzcuaro, on the shores of Lake Patzcuaro, is well known for its Festival of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos), celebrated primarily on November 2. Tourists from everywhere visit Patzcuaro, and the tiny island of Janitizio in the lake, to view the celebration.
There are two typical Tarascan Soups. This version is a puréed mixture of beans, tomatoes, chiles, herbs, and spices, and topped with crisp tortilla strips, chiles, and cheese. I learned how to make it by watching the cook in a restaurant in Patzcuaro. Dried pink or pinto beans can be used for the soup, based on preference and availability.

TARASCAN BEAN SOUP.

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
4 large cloves minced garlic
1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes - undrained
2 (15-ounce) cans pinto beans - undrained
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 (16-ounce) can fat-free less-sodium chicken broth
1 cup shredded reduced-fat Monterey Jack cheese
16 crushed (about 1 cup) baked tortilla chips.

Heat oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; sauté 3 minutes. Stir in tomatoes; cook 5 minutes. Place beans in a blender or food processor; process until smooth. Add beans, chili powder, cumin, hot sauce, salt, and broth to pan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook 18 minutes. Serve with cheese and chips.

BON APETIT !!!!

It looks delicious. I will make this very soon. I only wish my family had good taste!

On the other hand, because they will not share it with me, I will be able to eat it for lunch for three or four days.

Katinka # 29. July 2008, 01:28

Je... puedes creer que no la he probado?
Quizás algún día, aunque por estos rumbos es medio difícil encontrar comida típica y cuando la "encuentras" la verdad no sabe buena, fraudeeeeeee

Y la receta, yo no soy buena en la cocina, por la cual probablemente pida una ayudadita (una pequeña ayudadita? o le darás la receta a alguien que sí sepa eh??

jejeje)

Saludos!

greenwitch3 # 29. July 2008, 18:15

Class10, that is why I write the recipe, so you can cook it,
because I think that it is going to be a little difficult to
find this soup where you live. Or tell me, are there mexican
restaurants ???

Tyler, but this soup is very nourishing, beans, corn, cheese,
try it.

My God, TG now wants to explode a bomb in my nice cave...I must
think in a very very good plan for fighting her, I need an
aquellarre...hehehe. Thanks for your help fifineleb.
