Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 c Onions, chopped
4 ea Garlic cloves, chopped
3 tb Vegetable oil
2 ea Jalapeno chiles, minced
1 t Cumin
1/2 ts Oregano
3 1/2 c Tomatoes, chopped
3 c Stock
1/3 c Lime juice

In a soup pot, saute onions & garlic in oil until
softened. Add the chiles, cumin & oregano & saute a
few more minutes. Add tomatoes & sprinkle with a
little salt. Cover the pot & cook gently until the
tomatoes begin to release their juices. Stir
occasionally. Add stock & simmer, covered, for 15
minutes. Add lime juice & check the seasoning.

Serve topped with crumbled tortilla chips (I find that
these are not necessary) & garnish with cilantro.
