TORTILLA SOUP
In Mexico, soup is enjoyed at any time of the day
or night, including breakfast. Mexican soups are
very popular and there are many recipes that you
can create at home for everyone to enjoy as an
appetizer or lunch. Some of the thicker soups
make a delicious and hearty dinner. Posole
(po-SO-lay) is a wholesome spicy corn soup that is
often served throughout the Christmas holidays in
Mexico.
The best thing about soup, it is easy to make and
always reheats well. This is an easy tomato-tortilla
soup, be sure to make extra, it’s so good people
will want seconds.
Get your skates on!”

In Mexico, Christmas festivities begin with “Las Posadas”
(Shelter), nine consecutive days of candlelight processions and
lively parties starting December 16th. Children gather each
afternoon to re-enact the holy family’s quest for shelter. Children
take part in this procession and stop at designated houses and
request refuge for the night, but are turned away. At the final stop
the pilgrims are told they are welcome to take refuge in a stable.
This is an active way of teaching children the story of the Nativity,
but the main attraction is the merrymaking that follows.
Holiday festivities culminate on Noche Buena (Christmas Eve)
with the celebration of late-night “Misa de Gallo” (Rooster’s
Mass). Afterwards families head home for a traditional Christmas
supper. The evening is rounded out with the exchange of gifts,
and children smash open piñatas. As these happy family
gatherings generally last into the wee hours, Christmas Day is a
day of rest.
