MEXICALI SOUP
In 2nd grade my teacher Mrs. Means gave the entire class this recipe. I think we ate this in class one day, but I don't recall. It is my favorite vegetable soup recipe to this day. I'm not sure where the soup got the name, but my guess is it was probably from a story we read. My Mom said the original recipe calls for a beef soup bone and beef, but I grew up without it in the recipe. Feel free to throw either or both in to suit your tastebuds or use your own fresh homemade vegetable stock.

MEXICALI SOUP
Steps:
- In a Dutch oven, brown ground beef with onion and garlic until beef is no longer pink; drain off fat. Add broth, water, tomatoes and oregano; bring to a boil. Add corn, zucchini, celery, rice and contents of seasoning packet; reduce heat and cover, simmering for 20 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Before serving, sprinkle with cheese, chilies and parsley or cilantro. *For a spicier dish, sauté hot chilies with onion and garlic.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices will give your soup the best flavor. If you can't find fresh ingredients, use frozen or canned vegetables, but avoid using canned soups or sauces, which can be high in sodium and preservatives.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: Overcooked vegetables will become mushy and lose their nutrients. Cook them just until they are tender-crisp.
- Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. Be careful not to over-season the soup, as you can always add more seasoning later.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro, parsley, or chives, will add a pop of color and flavor to your soup.
Conclusion:
Mexicali soup is a delicious and versatile soup that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover vegetables, and it can be easily customized to your own taste.
