INSTRUCTIONS
Lightly spray a nonstick 4-quart Dutch oven with vegetable oil and place
over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, a few teaspoons water, and cook,
stirring constantly, about 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Add 3
cups water, tomatillos, jalapeno, and bouillon cube and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat and simmer 8 to 10 minutes. Cool slightly.
Transfer the mixture to a food processor, or use an immersion, or hand,
blender, and puree until smooth. Return the mixture to the Dutch oven, stir
in the orzo, and heat through, but don't boil. Either stir in the sour
cream in the pot or add a dollop on each serving. [McRecipe:patH 18 Aug 96]

NOTES : Publisher: William Morrow
Lynn's Notes: The satisfying zest of this soup makes searching for
this Mexican green tomatolike fruit well worth the effort. The
tomatillo is smaller than a tomato, covered with a tight-fitting
paperlike husk, and tastes best when green. It can be found in
specialty food stores, Latin American markets, and some
supermarkets. Substitute green tomatoes if you can't find
tomatillos. Orzo is a small rice- shaped pasta that cooks in just
a few minutes. (250 cal, 1.5g fat)
