I made this for dinner last night, with cornbread on the side (yum). To continue in this week’s theme of serving you by admitting all my mistakes so you don’t repeat them, my advice about this soup is: don’t use key lime juice. We tried exactly that last night, and the result was weird and oddly bitter and in my opinion just plain bad, so I took an extra day on the recipe writeup to consult the original Moosewood Restaurant Cooks At Home recipe that inspired me and figure out what went wrong and translate those small wisdoms into this recipe. Long story short: Stick to regular limes and you’ll be fine (I like the bottled not-from-concentrate juice from Santa Cruz Organic, myself), don’t overdo the hot sauce because it’s secretly full of sour vinegar, and beware: some tomato juice contains lemon juice, which can make everything extra-bonus sour as well. My scribbly notes on the original Sundance version of this recipe (19 quarts!) include a big, circled “Darren + Erin need a copy.” so the following is dedicated to the van Browns, with love. (more…)
