Episode 1204: Teaching Tortilla Soup, Rick Bayless "Mexico: One Plate at a Time"

Wherever you are in the world, a bowl of chicken soup is the cure for what ails you. In Mexico, that means a brothy bowl of shredded chicken with fried tortillas, earthy red chile, luscious cream, and fresh cheese. Rick shows you this big bowl of comfort at the countertop of La Corte, a workingperson’s downtown diner, and at the historically luxe San Angel Inn. At his Chicago home kitchen, Rick uses his kitchen’s pressure cooker to make two nurturing soups, a tried-and-true sopa de tortilla and a meal-in-a-bowl versio with hearty short rib and earthy pasilla chile. *Episode Recipes* Classic Tortilla Soup: https://www.rickbayless.com/recipe/cl...
