Sweet Bird Treats And Tortilla Soup For The Husband

















My pictures are backwards again but I'm too lazy to fix it right now. Why must I always do this? Let's go backwards shall we?
Picture #6 was taken by the sweet birds while in my kitchen in the middle of the night. They made us blueberry scones with blueberries from my own garden.
Picture #5 is them just before we inhaled them.
Picture #4 is the carefully thought out mix of spices for tortilla soup. There's really suppose to be 5 spices, but last minute I realized I was out of one of them and I didn't want to go back to the store just for one silly little thing. So I went without, it was a first but it came out good...although it seemed a bit spicier than normal.
Picture #3 are the crispy chips I fried. You fry a bunch of these after you cut tortilla into triangles and then you use the remaining oil to start the soup with. Helps carry the flavor over.
Picture #2 is the start of the soup. I've added onion, spices, and garlic to my hot oil. You let this cook for about 5 minutes on high before adding the rest of your ingredients. I'm not gonna lie, this is a special recipe and I only give it out to those who I know will cherish it as I do.
Picture #1 is the finished soup garnished with avocado. It's also good with a bit of sour cream and sometimes shredded cheese. I went without today. If your sinuses aren't cleared after eating this that you don't have any at all.
