Title: Chile [Chilli] Leaf Soup
Categories: Soups, Beef, Herbs
Yield: 4 Servings

4 c Beef broth
1/2 c Chile leaves; chiffonaded
Parsley; several fresh
-sprigs, chopped, optional
1/2 c Cooked rice
4 Green onions; chopped

[Green onions = spring onions, scallions, sometimes called "shallots" in
Louisiana.]

Bring beef broth to a boil. Add chopped chile leaf and parsley stems.
Simmer 10 minutes. Add chile leaves and parsley; simmer 3-5 minutes. Add
cooked rice and chopped white parts of the onions. Simmer one minute. Serve
and sprinkle the bowls with the chopped green part of the onions.

I recommend against adding other vegetables, herbs or spices or the
delicate flavour of the chile leaves will be overpowered.
