I did, however, make up the Chicken Tortilla Soup and the Bacon Cheddar Scones.
First, the soup. Things started off with a nice mirepoix (although I guess in this case we should call it a sofrito, eh?)
And ended up with a really delicious soup!
Like ringy we couldn't find any mexicorn, so I just used a can of corn. And, what I thought was a can of green chilli's was actually salsa verde, so most of that went in instead.
We chose to garnish the soup with some sour cream, fresh grated cheese, avocado (because they are my favourite) and the leftover salsa verde.
When I asked Derek what he though his answer was "It's soupy". Um, yeah. Despite that comment we both really enjoyed the soup. The avocado got a bit lost with all of the other flavours, and Derek needed the sour cream to tone the heat down to a level he was happy with, but I'll definitely be making this again.
Now, on to the bacon.
This was my first experience making scones, and while I wasn't sure if my dough was right, they were amazing. I followed the directions exactly and ended up with this pan of delicious for Sunday breakfast.
Because we are gluttons, we had these, topped with some MORE butter and coffee for breakfast. There was 1 left.
I will 100% make these again (but maybe cook up the bacon the day/night before) and am quite interested in experimenting with different scones in the future!
Now, who's got recipes that use up butter milk?
