*** DON'T FORGET SOUP DELIVERIES MOVED TO WEDNESDAYS ***

Hello & Happy Thursday!

Summer has flown by, as I'm sure most of you can relate to, but it was another good one filled with family dinners, road trips, and plenty of Triple F (forced family fun). For a few weeks this summer, and probably for the last time, all five of the OG family were living under one roof. I feel very grateful that we had that time together, even though I felt like a short order cook half the time!!

The menu for WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 19th features TORTILLA SOUP, GREEN CHILE CHEESE BREAD, & BROWN BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES. Tortilla soup is a big customer favorite, I couldn't resist starting off the season with it. This is my go-to soup when I need a fresh and tasty dinner that my whole family will devour.

My tortilla soup begins with sautéing onions, red & orange peppers, garlic and zucchini in olive oil with cumin and chili powder. Once softened, corn and black beans are added.

Next, homemade chicken stock, fire-roasted tomatoes, and tomato sauce are added. The soup simmers until all the flavors are blended and it's garnished with cilantro, shredded cheddar cheese and tortilla strips.

The bread companion this week is my GREEN CHILE CHEESE BREAD. The bread features the delicious flavors of the Southwest ...smoky, slightly spicy roasted green chiles and creamy cheddar cheese. It's a perfect companion to this soup!

On the menu for dessert this week are BROWN BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES. Our chocolate chip cookie is rich, buttery, and packed with
melty chocolate, with a perfectly gooey center and a touch of flaky sea salt. - Payton from Baked by Brown Butter
