Christy Jordan's NEW Cook Book ~ Come Home to Supper *Review/Giveaway

As many of you know I collect cook books.

I am always on the look out for unique,

new or old books to add to my arsenal.

I tend to buy the cook books that mirror the

kind of style and way I cook for my family.

You would think that finding cook books

like that were easy....HA!

 Let me tell you it is NOT!

To me, cook books are personal.

They tell a story. Let us see who the Author

 really is by the ingredients used,

the description's they give to

each recipe. Even the their vocabulary.

 

I can usually tell if I will like the book

 by (3) things:

1). The cover photo/title

2). The introduction/foreword

3). Style of recipes

I read them as if they were a novel.

A novel I don't want to put down!

Do you understand just how much I love

finding a Cook Book I LOVE?

I am happy to say I have found another

much loved "novel", I don't  ever want to finish.

Come Home to Supper

Authored by my sweet friend, food blogger of

The Southern Plate~ Christy Jordan.

 

I knew I was going to love this New Book,

after I "dog eared" and highlighted every

page of her 1st cook book~ Southern Plate.

When I was given the opportunity to

receive an early released copy to

review/giveaway I JUMPED at the chance.

You will find over 200 recipes that have

been approved, by Christy's own family.

Come Home to Supper, recipes are simple

to make with everyday ingredients.

 

 LOOK at this Old Fashioned Sticky Chicken

 

 What about this divine

Cappuccino Cake

 

As well as this mouthwatering

Chicken Tortilla Soup.

This Soup is going to be a standard

in our home in the coming cold months.

I just know Y'all will enjoy it too!

 

Chicken Tortilla Soup

 1 can (14oz.) Chicken Broth *

*Or 2 bouillon cubes dissolved in 1 1/2 cups of water

1 can (29oz.) Crushed Tomatoes

1 can (11oz.) Red Enchilada Sauce

1 can (4oz.) Chopped Green Chilies

1 teaspoon Chili Powder

1 teaspoon Cumin

1 teaspoon Dried Cilantro Leaves

1 heaping teaspoon Minced Garlic

2-3 Cups Cooked, Shredded Chicken

*Or 2 cans (15oz.) Canned Corn drained

1 small Onion, chopped

Salt/Pepper

Combine all of the ingredients except

for the tortillas and toppings with

2 cups of water in a large stockpot.

Place it over med.-high and simmer until

the soup is completely heated through,

approximately 30 minutes.

Using a pizza cutter or kitchen shears,

cut each tortilla into thin strips.

Place the strips in the pot and cook

for 10 minutes more.

Serve the soup in bowls with the

desired toppings on the side.

some of her extra positive advice
