Introduction

This is an adaptation of El Torito's recipe, which tastes EXACTLY like the old Casa Grill recipe. I've modified it to make it easier, healthier, and vegetarian. Yummy, if not quite as good as the full-fat version. This is an adaptation of El Torito's recipe, which tastes EXACTLY like the old Casa Grill recipe.

Ingredients

    El Torito Grill Fire-Roasted Tomato Soup

    Tomato Soup, 1 can (10.75 oz)
    Pepper, Poblano 1 Pepper, 1 serving
    Onion Red (1 Srve = one onion), .25 serving
    Oregano, ground, .25 tsp (use fresh if you have it)
    Garlic, Chopped or Minced (SS=1 Clove), .5 serving
    Vegetable Stock, .75 cup
    Whipped Cream, Fat Free (8 oz), .5 serving
    Salt, to taste
    Pepper, white, .25 tbsp or to taste
    Pepper, red or cayenne, .25 tsp or to taste
    White-gold Sweet Corn, .25 cup (buy it pre-roasted or roast it in the oven yourself)
    Cilantro sprigs for garnish (I like to add a little to the soup, too.)

    Crema Fresca
    Fat Free Sour Cream, 3 tbsp
    Fat free half and half, .2 cup

    Avocado Sauce
    Avacado (1/2), 1 serving
    Jalapeno Peppers, 1 pepper
    Cilantro, raw, .5 tbsp (remove)
    green onion - one stalk, .5 serving
    Serrano Peppers, .5 pepper

    Salt, 1 dash
    Water, tap, 1-1.5 fl oz (see how much liquid you need--may need less)

Tips

I don't always make the crema fresca or avocado sauce--it's a nice touch, but a little work. Soup is just fine without the flourishes.


Directions

In a soup pot, saute chile, onion, oregano and garlic until onion is transparent. Add tomato soup and broth. Bring to boil. Simmer 10 to 15 min. Add cream, salt, white pepper and cayenne.

Puree soup in batches in blender until smooth. Return to pot. Add corn and stir to heat. Ladle into heated bowls.

Using separate squeeze bottles, drizzle Crema Fresca and Avocado Sauce over soup, or dollop over soup, if desired. Garnish with cilantro sprigs.

Crema Fresca: In bowl mix sour cream and half and half thoroughly. Pour into squeeze bottles, if desired.

Avocado Sauce: Place avocado, jalapeno juice, cilantro, onion, Serrano chile, garlic, salt and water in blender container and blend until thick liquid that can be squeezed from bottle is formed. Add more water, if necessary.

Makes approximately 4 to 5 servings.
