It is almost Cinco de Mayo. Living so close to Mexico our border country, the day is a big deal here in New Mexico. Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Mexican Army’s victory over the French in the Battle of Puebla that occurred on May 5, 1862. Cinco de Mayo has taken on much more than just the celebration of the battle in 1862. In the U.S. we celebrate the Mexican-American culture. Many restaurants and bars have special menus which include some amazing Mexican-American foods. Before having my kids I used to host a small Cinco de Mayo Fiesta. Now life is crazy busy and I don’t have time for entertaining parties like I did years ago. I am always looking for great food and easy recipes. This Green Chile Tortilla Soup fits the bill. Made with a few canned ingredients, it is ready in under 30 minutes. It is amazing. My kids love it and have asked me to make it several times. It would be a great addition to any Fiesta including Cinco de Mayo. I hope you enjoy this recipe and until next time – Bon Appetit, Cecelia
