I made both of the recipes this week and thought they were delicious. It was a cold and rainy day earlier this week so the soup was perfect. I did make a few changes though. I cut the recipe in half but used the whole can of Rotel so it was nice and spicy. I didn’t have any bell peppers so I just omitted them. I added a can of hominy because I wanted the soup to be thick and hearty. It was so good and flavorful. I liked the cornmeal thickening and the corn tortilla strips in it. I topped the soup with chopped cilantro and diced avocado – perfect!
Last night I made the Lemon Blueberry Pancakes. I don’t know if it was because I was really hungry or what but I thought these were soooo good and I am not a big pancake person. My husband even liked them and that is saying something :). I made my own cake flour by measuring out 1 1/2 cups of all purpose flour, taking out three tablespoons of it and replacing with 3 tablespoons of cornstarch. Then I sifted the mixture 5 times. (thanks, Google). I didn’t have any evaporated milk so I used 2%. I also used frozen blueberries. I didn’t thaw them out – just dumped them in frozen. So good!!

Nice idea about adding the hominy. We didn't do the corn tortilla strips, but added broken up tortilla chips. It was a very tasty soup! Thanks for the heads up about the cake flour. I haven't made the pancakes yet, but plan to in the next week.
