Chicken Tortilla Soup with Roasted Hatch Chiles (GF)

A key step in the process of making this soup as with many soups, be patient, let the flavors build. By letting the onions break down in the cooking process and bringing them to the browning stage, it brings out the sweetness and builds flavor in the resulting soup. Each step helps build those flavors, sauteing the jalapenos, garlic and simmering for 20-30 minutes allows everything to break down and allows flavors to combine. Pureeing brings all those flavors together to give the soup a thicker hearty flavor filled soup.

Vera Beck’s Cornbread with Cheese and Chiles

Vera Beck resembled one of those African-American matriarchs who, once upon a time, were thought of as saints—a woman in her twilight years whose culinary expressiveness was like a gift she bestowed upon the people she loved. In the few short years we had together at the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Vera taught me a few life lessons while showing me the way to light and flaky buttermilk biscuits.
