SIMPLE SALSA
There are tons of salsas out there, but I haven't found one exactly like mine. (I don't like the taste of lime or lemon juice. It's similar to pico de gallo I guess.) Do yourself a favor and find authentic Mexican chips from a local restaurant to go with this! Can't beat the taste. :) Can spice this up if you want, I do this for my bf, just add some cayenne to the mix! I love this so much I can eat half the bowl in one sitting!!

- In a small bowl combine garlic, onion and tomatoes with cilantro, salt, and pepper (or garlic pepper salt). Stir with a spoon and mash a little, this will make it juicy, and as it sits it'll get juicer.

SIMPLE SALSA SOUP
I am so excited about this soup! It is a chicken broth soup flavored and "textured" by a bright salsa puree and has mozzarella melting in the bottom of the bowl! It is extremely simple to make. If the directions seem long, it's only because I've given lots of notes. Very little chopping and very little cooking to this recipe. I think the melting mozzarella makes this broth soup special! What I like most about serving this low-cal soup is that it can be easily adjusted to meet the taste of your guests . There are garnishes that add the finishing touches to the soup and make this recipe fun for entertaining. You can add any of the garnishes to the soup immediately before serving if you prefer, but I would NOT add the sour cream. Even if you temper the sour cream, it makes the soup cloudy. I simply put a small dish of sour cream on the table for each guest. I dip the tip of my spoon in the sour cream and then take soup on to the spoon. I'm one of those "perfect bite" kind of people, that's why I love serving the soup with the garnishes!! Enjoy!!

Steps:
- Place broth into your favorite soup pot. Heat broth on medium.
- Meanwhile, in a food processor (if you don't have one, use a blender), chop the onion and garlic, using 1 second pulses until well chopped, but not mushy, about 8 pulses.
- Add tomatoes, jalapeños, cumin, 1 tablespoon lime juice and pulse until mixture is very fine, almost pureed.
- You should have just about 1 cup of salsa.
- Turn up heat under soup.
- Add shredded chicken to broth.
- When soup just starts to simmer add salsa mixture, 1 tsp lime juice, and 1 tablespoon cumin.
- Quickly stir and remove from heat. (You just want to incorporate the salsa, not cook it).
- Adjust seasonings to taste.
- To Serve:.
- Cut mozzarella into to half inch thick round slices and place slices in bottom of soup bowls.
- Ladle the simmering broth into bowls over the cheese.
- Let the soup sit for about 2 minutes, to allow the heat of the soup to soften the mozzarella.
- Serve with garnishes on the side.
- (If you choose to add the garnishes before serving, add them right before serving so as not to cook the cilantro or avocado. I do not recommend adding the sour cream ahead of time).
- Make sure to tell your guests that there is wonderful melted cheese on the bottom of the bowl!
- Enjoy!

MANDY'S SIMPLE SALSA FOR NACHOS
This is my salsa recipe, I came up with this after many visits to Taco Bill & it tastes just like theirs. It is sooo simple to make but just perfect for Nacho's, much better than any in a jar in my opinion. If you like things extra spicy add more chilli if desired. Leftovers can be frozen too but will be more watery upon defrosting.

Tips:
- Use ripe tomatoes. The riper the tomatoes, the sweeter and more flavorful your salsa will be.
- Choose the right type of tomatoes. Roma tomatoes are a good choice for salsa because they are meaty and have fewer seeds.
- Dice the tomatoes evenly. This will help to ensure that the salsa has a consistent texture.
- Use fresh cilantro. Fresh cilantro adds a bright, citrusy flavor to salsa.
- Don't over-chop the ingredients. You want the salsa to have some texture, so don't chop the ingredients too finely.
- Taste the salsa as you go. This will help you to adjust the flavors to your liking.
- Let the salsa chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
Conclusion:
Salsa is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious salsa that will be the perfect addition to your next meal.
