Serves about 4
- 1 pound of fresh tomatillos
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 1 large yellow onion
- 2 ears of corn
- 1 can of diced tomatoes
- 1 bunch of cilantro
- 2 cups sour cream
- 2 limes
- 1 jalapeño
- 1 avocado
- 1 container of veg or chicken stock
- 1 package of corn tortillas
- salt and pepper
- In a large stockpot add a drizzle of olive oil. Take note to cut your vegetables in similar sizes to ensure even cooking. Add chopped onions, jalapeno and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Saute till tender. Remove the kernels by gently sliding your knife along side. Add corn and half of your bunch of cilantro chopped. Remove husks from the tomatillos and rinse. Depending on their size you can slice in half or into quarters. Then toss in the tomatillos into the pot and stir well. Add the juice of one lime and saute till tender. Finish with the can of chopped tomatoes and the container of stock. Bring to a simmer and allow to cook for at least 2 hours. The longer it cooks the better and more flavorful it will become. Check on it regularly and with the addition of two cups of water. Adjust seasoning of salt during the process. In a small bowl mix 2 cups of sour cream and the juice of a lime and pinch of salt. For the homemade tortilla strips, heat oil in a saute pan and add thinly sliced corn tortillas. When golden brown add to a piece of paper towel to absorb any excess oil and season with salt. When finished ladle your soup into a bowl. Add the tortilla strips on top, a dollop of the lime sour cream and sliced avocado. Garnish with additional cilantro if desired and a touch more lime juice. Yum, warms the soul.

I made this last weekend in my slow cooker and it was amazing. I added some chicken, though I'm sure it would have been perfect and filling without it.
