Ingredients

1/2 Cup MASECA®
1/4Cup Celery (chopped)
1/4 Cup Leek (chopped)
1/4Cup Tomato (chopped)
1 Tsp Salt

4 Cup Chicken Broth
10 Pieces Fried Tortilla Strips
2 Pieces Avocado sliced
1 Cup Sour Cream
2 Cups Fresh Cheese (chopped)
5 Pieces Fried Pasilla Chile strips

1 Cup Vegetable Oil
2 Tbsp Chicken Flavor Bouillon
1 Piece Garlic Clove (chopped)
2 Cups Tomato Sauce

Instructions

Wash and disinfect vegetables before cutting. In large saucepan on medium-high heat fry celery, tomato and leek until soft, and blend with tomato sauce.

Separately blend MASECA® with one cup of chicken broth. Add the vegetables mix until both integrate well, and strain.

Add the remaining chicken broth, chicken flavor boullion and salt. Allow to simmer to meld the flavors until a thick texture is reached.

To serve: Ladle soup into serving bowls and top with avocado, cream cheese, pasilla chile and a dollop of sour cream. Add tortilla strips at the end to avoid get them too wet before serving.

Tip: Add extra chili when blending to make it spicier. You could use a substitute of fresh cheese, like shredded Monterey Jack.
Preparation time: 20 to 25 minutes.

UCSF Researchers say products with added sugar should be controlled just like alcohol or tobacco. They are advocating that the government take control of the situation because the citizens are unable to do so. The solutions they suggest include doubling the price of sodas via a sugar tax, put age restrictions on purchase of products containing added sugar and legislate which stores are allowed to sell products with added sugar.
