A million thanks to Jenn for giving me the best jump start for this dish!

8 dried New Mexico red chilies, soaked in boiling water for about 20 minutes
1 small onion, chopped
6 cloves garlic, chopped
3 chipotle chilis, chopped
2 cans diced fire roasted tomatoes
1 can diced green chiles
2 tbsp cumin
2 tbsp chili powder
2 tbsp oregano
1/2 to 1 tsp cinnamon
1 quart chicken broth
fresh cilantro
lime
avocado
sour cream
tortillas, sliced, oiled, baked until crisp
queso fresco

Blend first four items together with a little of the soaking water.

Heat soup pot with 2 tbsp canola oil. Combine next ingredients in soup pot. Add chili paste, chicken broth, and shredded chicken. Cook over medium-low heat for about an hour. Bake tortilla strips at 375 until crisp. Garnish with remaining ingredients.

Just for you, sweetie. Love you.

For the life of me, I cannot fathom why a woman would *choose* to induce labor *before* she reaches at least 40 weeks gestation. I’ve had two kids. I understand the feeling of being done before you’re actually finished. It doesn’t mean that you get to rob your growing child of crucial development time in utero just because you’re uncomfortable. Your baby knows how to be born, your body knows how to birth it.

If being pregnant is an inconvenience, get ready for worse because parenthood is all about meeting someone else’s needs.
