Yet again avoiding the grocery store, I noted on my way to feed my compost worms their Thanksgiving Dinner that there were still some small roma tomatoes on one of our plants. I also had a can of corn niblets in the pantry,  some frozen chipotle, and a few bedraggled green onions which I supplemented with some shallots. Fortunately my neighbor&#8217;s lime tree borders our driveway and there was one lying on the ground under the tree. Lucky me.<\/p>\n<p>While the recipe calls for dry roasting both the corn and the tomatoes in a skillet on high heat, I chose to char my tomatoes with a torch&#8230; the kind you get at Sears. We discovered this roasting method when our kitchen was being remodeled (after trying a wood-fireplace roast and ending up with soot-covered tomatoes). It works especially well for peppers and chiles. Stick them on a fork and run them through the flame. I did char the corn, however, in the skillet over high heat because the fork thing doesn&#8217;t work on canned corn.<\/p>\n<p>I put a leftover turkey wing bone in my chicken stock and let it simmer while I chopped the onions, garlic, and charred tomatoes.<\/p>\n<p>The only difficult part was getting the avocado cream to sit photographically in the soup at the end.<\/p>\n<p>No one seemed to care, they just wanted to try it. It was delicious.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We tried Jerry&#8217;s Mexican Turkey Soup recipe tonight.
