Mexican Squash Blossom Soup Comes to Guadalajara Grill

Come join Guadalajara Grill Tucson's Mexican Culinary Tour.

 

This month of July, 2010 we are going to take you to Puebla, home to Popocatepetl the volcano called “Popo” by locals. Still steaming hot, Popo often spills molten red lava down the hillside.

And if you want to fill your home with the delicious tastes of Puebla, and serve up something as hot and steamy as Popo, try our Sopa de Flor de Calabaza, or Squash Blossom Soup.  

Here is our recipe: 

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs. Squash Blossom, Cleaned and Chopped
• 1 Liter of Chicken Broth Oil
• 2 Roasted Poblano Chiles Cut Into Strips
• 2 Cleaned Potatoes
• 1 Diced Onion
• Manchego Cheese
• Salt, Garlic, and Pepper to Taste

Preparation:

• Fry the Onion in Oil
• Add the Potatoes, the Chicken Strips, and the Chopped Squash 
• Blossom and Leave Frying in Oil
• Add the Chicken Broth and Boil.  
• Finally, Add the Cheese, Lower the Heat and Serve

Accompany the Soup with Flour Tortillas

Just like Popo, our Squash Blossom Soup is a local attraction in Puebla.  Served steaming hot, this chicken broth based soup is chock full of fresh potatoes, chiles, manchego cheese chunks and colorful squash blossoms. Just don’t be like Popo:  keep it in your bowl!!
