Sopa De Nopales (cactus Soup) Recipe
Yield: 8 ServingsRecipe by luhu.jp
Ingredients:
1 tbsp: Olive or salad oil,
1 Large: onion, chopped
1 lbs: Tomatillos*,
6 cup: Chicken broth, reg strength
1 package: Sliced cactus, (33 oz)**
2 tbsp: Lime juice,
2 tbsp: Fresh cilantro leaves, minced
2 ounce: Panela/feta cheese, crumbled
Lime wedges, opt
Directions:
Cactus looks forbidding. Stripped of its prickly points, however, it
is a mild-mannered vegetable with a slightly tart flavor. Look for
easy-to-use canned cactus (sold as NOPALES or NOPALITOS) in
supermarkets and Mexican groceries.

================== * - husks removed, rinsed and coarsely chopped **
~ packed in water, drained and rinsed.

boil over high heat. Stir in cactus, lime juice, and cilantro. Cook
until hot. Ladle soup into a tureen. Offer cheese to add to taste.
