Tortilla Soup

Both my mom and Aunt Cathy make this soup. I don't know whose recipe it was first, so I don't know where credit is due.

Blend until smooth:
15 oz can of tomatoes
1 clove garlic
1 medium onion
2 T. parsley

Pour tomato mixture into large saucepan and add:
4 c. chicken broth (I use low-sodium because the bacon makes it pretty salty too)
1/4 tsp sugar.

Simmer for 15 minutes.

Serve with:
Crumbled bacon
diced avocado
shredded cheese
tortillas warmed in a little bit of oil (or tortilla chips)

Heather's Green Salad (Not me, another Heather)

Recipe from Heather, my VT. She made this for Enrichment and I had better write down the ingredients before I forget. There are no set amounts, just throw in as you like.

Spring greens mix
Diced avocados
Mandarin Oranges
Sliced kiwi fruit
Candied nuts
Sliced red onions

Combine and toss. Serve with dressing of choice (we had ranch at Relief Society).
