Since soup has been a topic lately.... To make almost any vegie soup
GREAT, I add some lime juice and salsa to taste after I've put it in my
bowl. I put lime wedges and a bowl of salsa on the table when I serve
vegetable soup. My kids don't like it spicy but love the lime in their
soup, too. I leaned this in Mexico. Here's a great recipe for salsa that
goes well in soups:

Boil 3 medium tomatoes or 10 to 15 tomatillos and 1 to 5 chilis for about
20 minutes in enough water to cover. (cut stems off chilis first) Drain
reserving some of the water. Put 1 to 3 cloves garlic and the chilis into a
blender with a little of the reserved liquid and blend well. Put everthing
else in and blend.

Caution: soups with dairy products will separate with the addition of lime
juice and look really weird.
