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

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.
Serving Size: 4-5 bowls
