Comments
When I lived in Santa Fe New Mexico many moons ago this was my favorite soup. A bowl of red Chile soup has about half a million units of vitamin C. Over the years I added honey and half and half. In Santa Fe we used to eat this with a sopapilla spread with honey. I don’t like to have my food fried in oil too much lately so I add honey to the soup.
