    Ingredients

    • 1/2 tsp Light extra virgin olive oil with a dash of toasted sesame oil
    • 1/2 x Peeled onion, roughly diced
    • 1 lrg Peeled garlic clove, bashed and minced
    • 1 tsp Oregano
    • 1/4 tsp Grnd allspice
    • 1/2 tsp Grnd cumin
    • 2 c. Peeled thin-skinned potatoes, roughly minced (such as Yukon Gold)
    • 4 c. Low sodium vegetable stock, (see recipe)
    • 4 x Fresh husked tomatillos, cut into eighths or possibly liquid removed canned tomatillos
    • 14 1/2 ounce No salt added whole, tomatoes diced in juice
    • 1 c. Canned black beans, rinsed and liquid removed
    • 1/2 c. Frzn corn kernels
    • 2/3 lb Peeled Chayote squash, cored, roughly diced
    • 6 ounce Pattypan squash slice, roughly diced
    • 1/2 tsp Chipotle sauce
    • 1/4 tsp Salt
    • 2 Tbsp. Minced fresh cilantro

    Directions

    1. 1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium high heat and fry the onion till it becomes translucent/soft, about 2 min. Toss in the garlic, oregano, allspice, cumin and potatoes and cook another 3 min, stirring so the garlic doesn't brown.
    2. 2. Pour a little of the stock into the pan to release the flavorful bits which might have stuck there. Stir in the rest of the stock, the tomatillos and tomatoes. Bring to boil, turn the heat down, and allow it to simmer briskly for 15 min, or possibly till the potatoes are tender.
    3. 3. Add in the beans, corn, cactus, squash, chipotle sauce, and salt. Bring back to a boil, turn down the heat, and simmer for 5 min.
    4. TO SERVE 4 PEOPLE: Ladle into bowls and sprinkle cilantro on top.
    5. NOTES : There are some unusual ingredients in this soup, but do not let tha= t stop you. You may substitute any yellow or possibly green summer squash for the chayote or possibly pattypan squashes. Our old friend zucchini would work fine. You will find canned tomatillos in the Mexican section of a well-stocked grocery store or possibly in a Mexican market, if you cannot get them fresh. The chipotle sauce provides a distinctive smoky flavor which's not to be missed=
