I’m so sorry to hear of the passing of Elle.
Gonna miss Elle cooking demonstrations. Rest in Peace
I know this will seem petty but where did this woman learn to cook? Her skillet handle was always hanging over the edge…of the stove, of the counter. Wow. No dogs or children in this woman’s home? She never suddenly has to step to her right? Basic kitchen safety. I’m not sure about this recipe. I’ve seen something like it before BUT I don’t think it was presented as a Mexican dish. Let me know if you’ve heard of this as something else.
I’ve never heard it called sopa seca before. It means “dry noodles”. It’s made by stirring gently in a pan, adding broth or water as you go, like a risotto. It takes care. And it’s fee-day-oh with the accent on the first syllable, not fi-day-oh with the accent on the second. The use of canned chiles is maybe good enough.
Soap is soup. Seca is dry. Dry soup, not dry noodles.
I send my sincere condolences for the loss Elle Simone Scoot. So sad 💙
Sending love, prayers and condolences to Elle’s family, friends and co-workers. I enjoyed her so much, she was a beautiful soul. May she Rest in Peace. God bless. 🤍
The “3 tablespoons of vegetable oil” looked exactly like the “1 tablespoon of vegetable oil”
My first-gen godmother would make this dish, frequently as we just loved it. We would eat it with her fresh, homemade tortillas.
