Apparently there is hope that I will use the cookbooks and cooking magazines in my apartment, and not just rely on the internet and cookbooks from the library for my cooking and baking experiments. I make this statement as the other day, I pulled out the one and only "Everyday with Rachel Ray" magazine I bought last year and made my first recipe from it. I settled on the "Corn and Salsa Soup" recipe both because I thought it would be a filling soup for my friends who I were expecting for dinner, but also because it seemed that it would be a quick main course that would allow me to spend time on the two desserts I planned on making that evening.
I basically followed the recipe step-by-step, though I ended up using a can of plain diced tomatoes because I couldn't find fire-roasted tomatoes at a small grocery store nearby. I found the soup incredibly easy to make and despite my concerns that it would not have enough flavor, the poblano peppers definitely added a lot more spice than I thought. I definitely look forward to preparing it again, especially because it had both a light consistency and somehow ended up being incredibly filling and healthy.
