Chile [chilli] leaf soup
4 Servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | cups | Beef broth |
| ½ | cup | Chile leaves; chiffonaded |
| Parsley; several fresh sprigs, chopped, optional | ||
| ½ | cup | Cooked rice |
| 4 | Green onions; chopped | |
Directions
[Green onions = spring onions, scallions, sometimes called "shallots" in Louisiana.]
Bring beef broth to a boil. Add chopped chile leaf and parsley stems.
Simmer 10 minutes. Add chile leaves and parsley; simmer 3-5 minutes. Add cooked rice and chopped white parts of the onions. Simmer one minute. Serve and sprinkle the bowls with the chopped green part of the onions.
I recommend against adding other vegetables, herbs or spices or the delicate flavour of the chile leaves will be overpowered.
