Ham Mole Soup

Jpeg

Mirepoix: yellow onion, celery, carrot, bell pepper, fennel. Ham, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, red bell pepper, garlic, Doña Maria mole sauce.

So on the lid of the mole jar it says “abre facil”. Either I’m an idiot (always a possibility) or this is malevolently false advertising. Easy my butt.

But the soup was awesome.

Montezuma’s Chicken Mole Soup

Jpeg

Mirepoix: red, yellow, and white onion, carrot, green pepper. Black beans, corn, tomato (both fresh and canned), figs, jarred mole sauce, chicken breast and thigh, glace de poulet (roast chicken stock), sugar, garlic, salt

The lid on the mole sauce wouldn’t come off, so I had to knife through the top. To little avail, as the sauce had hardened at the bottom of the jar. Had to dig it out with a spoon. Oh well.
