Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 teaspoon light olive oil
with a dash of toasted sesame oil
1/2 peeled onion -- roughly diced
1 large peeled garlic clove -- bashed and chopped
1 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
2 cups peeled thin-skinned potatoes -- roughly chopped
(such as Yukon Gold)
4 cups low sodium vegetable stock -- (see recipe)
4 fresh husked tomatillos -- cut into eighths
or drained canned tomatillos
14 1/2 ounces no salt added whole, tomatoes
diced in juice
1 cup canned black beans -- rinsed and drained
1/2 cup frozen corn kernels
2/3 pound peeled Chayote squash -- cored, roughly diced
6 ounces pattypan squash slice -- roughly diced
1/2 teaspoon chipotle sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt
Garnish
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium high heat and fry the onion
until it becomes translucent, about 2 minutes. Toss in the garlic, oregano,
allspice, cumin and potatoes and cook another 3 minutes, stirring so the garlic
doesn't brown.
2. Pour a little of the stock into the pan to release the flavorful bits that
might have stuck there. Stir in the rest of the stock, the tomatillos and
tomatoes. Bring to boil, turn the heat down, and allow it to simmer briskly
for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
3. Add the beans, corn, cactus, squash, chipotle sauce, and salt. Bring back
to a boil, turn down the heat, and simmer for 5 minutes.
TO SERVE 4 PEOPLE: Ladle into bowls and sprinkle cilantro on top.

NOTES : There are some unusual ingredients in this soup, but don't let that
stop you. You may substitute any yellow or green summer squash for the chayote
or pattypan squashes. Our old friend zucchini would work fine. You will find
canned tomatillos in the Mexican section of a well-stocked grocery store or in
a Mexican market, if you can't get them fresh. The chipotle sauce provides a
distinctive smoky flavor that's not to be missed.
