"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
When we traveled to Mexico on buying trips for our import business, we loved the tortilla soup they served there. When we moved to Green Valley, Arizona we found the best ever tortilla soup at the Desert Diamond Casino's Agave Restautant. Karen asked the maître d' if she could possibly get the recipe for the soup and he gave us a recipe card from the executive chef, J. Ramon Delgado. This is a copy of that recipe.
