OH MY! Everyone on the Crew LOVED this dish when we prepared it. The recipe has just the right amount of meat for our liking, however you could definitely omit it entirely and turn this into a delicious vegan recipe as well. We substituted juice from a navel orange in place of the sour orange and it turned out great. YUM!

TAMALE SOUP

My husband gets delicious homemade tamales every Thursday at the school where he works. I always freeze whatever we can't eat and eventually we get a backlog, so I made up this recipe last night and it turned out great. Most of the measurements (other than the canned goods) are just estimates and can be adjusted according to preference.
