@Ideajuice ahh! I’ve never worked in the industry but I’ve taught some classes and been a passionate food nerd all my life.

@Ideajuice how you flavour the chicken depends on your soup.

It’s best if you SEAR the chicken first before poaching it. Sear it in the same pot you will add liquid to. And only add as much liquid as you need for your soup, so you don’t iver dilute flavours.

@Shar19L happy to help inspire! 😊

@Ideajuice but using rotisserie chicken is great too. If you’re poaching the chicken, use chicken legs, not the breasts.

@Ideajuice you can POACH the chicken to get a lot of flavour but you have to put the flavour in it! Cook it on low heat so it slowly cooks and it will be more tender.

Maybe put half an onion, a head of garlic, some bay leaf, salt, some peppercorns, and use chicken stock to poach the chicken, then set it aside to cook and strain the broth (discard solids) so you have an even more flavourful broth for your soup. :)

@GypsyGirl good luck! :)

@Ideajuice it’s still tasty but sautéing them builds flavour, especially with your choice of fat. :) For this, I used some chicken fat and lard, so you can only imagine. ;)

@Shar19L I’m enjoying it! I hope you do too.

@triforce You’re welcome! Not very specific but you can adjust quantities to taste. :)

If you don’t have tortilla chips but you have corn or flour tortillas, you can slice them into strips like I did. Spray with oil, sprinkle with salt, and throw them in an air fryer at 390 for about 5 minutes to get them crispy. Get ‘em extra crisp so they stand up to the soup. #CoSoRecipes #CoSoFood

Made an easy soup — sort of; I made the enchilada sauce myself & cooked chicken, but you can buy a can of enchilada sauce & roasted chicken to make it quickly.

Sauté your veggies — I got onions, leek, carrots, celery, and garlic — and add enchilada sauce, stock, chicken, and corn. Simmer until happy. Season well with salt.

You can complicate it with more stuff like Mexican oregano, bay leaves, etc. but basic is good.

Garnish with tortilla chips, avocado, green onions. Bonus points for lime.

Called a friend on his passive aggressive behaviour. Best friend and it’s something he does to avoid hurting me but it hurts, which is weird.

But feels terrible after saying something in a text and hoping they take it well. Terrifying, really!

The sun is about to set on what mY have been the last double-digit afternoon of the fall. Stormin’ tomorrow through Saturday.

I’m so grateful my work focus has been killer good this week and I finished my only hard deadline early to give myself 90 minutes in the sun. It is astounding what just 90 minutes can do for the soul.

There’s a sunset and a moonrise on opposite sides of the bay now.

@Sleep_Is_For_Chumps Bahahah. Sounds like a cool house tho.

Sunny interlude on the deck. Tomorrow, storms come. By Tuesday, possibly snow. I am on day 16 of 49 days in this housesit.

@Amyfb Smart!

@Helical_Code yeah, probably. I should too. I used to periodically turn off north through muting them on Twitter. It changes the dynamic.

@Holberg Toque season here in Canada. Huzzah! Which is great because the stylist bungled my haircut badly.

You know, it’s really possible to talk about things other than Trump and Elon.

It really is. Please try harder.
