vegetable soup with masa harina
I recently posted a recipe, Mexican Chicken Vegetable Soup, which is thickened with masa harina. I had not used masa harina before making this soup, and I really liked its flavor. So I wondered what other soups I could make with it. I love its use in this soup of broccoli and other vegetables.
