Pippin Chicken and Sam Clam Soup

Jpeg

Mirepoix: yellow onion, carrot, celery. Taco chicken breast, cento red clam sauce, poblano pepper, green and red bell pepper, cabbage, zucchini, black truffle oil, parmesan cheese, garlic, basil, sugar.

The clam sauce was a great find–tasted in the vein of Manhattan chowder. The taco marinade on the prepared chicken slices had cayenne and other usual Mexi flavors, but was fairly subtle.
