CHICKEN TORTILLA SOUP
This version of tortilla soup arises from a dish served at the Rose Garden restaurant in Anthony, Texas. We've streamlined the original recipe, using chicken legs as the base of the stock, pulling off the meat when it's tender, and adding couple of beef bones to give the broth extra depth. Laila Santana, whose mother, Dalila Garcia, owns the Rose Garden, told us the recipe lends itself to improvisation. That it does, so feel free to tweak it to your tastes.

Steps:
- Put the chicken, the beef bones if you're using them, 3 of the onion quarters and the garlic in a large pot. Add water just to cover (about 10 cups) and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat so the liquid bubbles gently. Cook, skimming the foam off the surface every now and then, until the chicken is very tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, put the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot but not smoking, fry 2 of the tortillas (one at a time if necessary), turning once, until crisp and golden, 2 to 3 minutes per tortilla. Drain on paper towels. Cut the 4 remaining tortillas into strips, add them to the skillet and fry, stirring to separate them, until crisp and golden, another 2 to 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt while they're still warm.
- When the chicken is tender, transfer it to a plate or cutting board with tongs or a slotted spoon (or put it in the fridge or freezer so it cools faster). When it's cool enough to handle, shred the meat with your fingers, discarding the bones and the skin. (If you used beef, discard it or save it for another use.)
- While the chicken is cooling, strain the stock and discard the solids. Peel the remaining quarter of an onion and put it in a blender with the chipotle, 1/4 cup of the cilantro and a sprinkle of salt. Crumble in the two whole fried tortillas and add enough stock to fill the blender a little more than halfway. Purée until the mixture is as smooth as possible.
- Pour the purée and remaining stock back into the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat so the mixture bubbles gently and cook for 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in the shredded chicken, taste and add more salt if necessary. Divide the avocados, the cheese and the remaining 1/4 cup cilantro among 4 to 6 bowls. Ladle the soup into the bowls and garnish with the fried tortilla strips. Serve immediately with lime wedges if you like.

TEXAS THICK & SPICY TORTILLA SOUP
I came up with this after several attempts and still tweaking. Starting with a bland one I found in a cookbook and deleted and added until I got the taste and consistency I liked. Most of the ones I had tried were watery and bland. This is a hot soup. If you don't like hot and spicy, don't make it ,,, you won't like it. I'm from Texas where we like our women, chili and most everything else hot. To make it even hotter, add the whole can of Rotel and leave the Jalapeño seeds in. This will generously serve 6 people. Add garnish if you must or just pour it up and enjoy with a cool glass of iced tea or man beverage of your choice. You can use generic brands for the ingredients but if you are health conscious, check the labels for fat and cholesterol content. The generics I have looked at are usually higher in both compared to name brands.
