Red Chileatole with Fall VegetablesRoland Bello

This savory soup is thickened with masa harina, a flour made from dried corn cured in limewater. Dried ancho chiles give the vegetable broth a stunning brick-red color, and epazote (a pungent wild herb native to Mexico) contributes authentic flavor.

Cubed potatoes and hefty chunks of fresh corn on the cob make the soup hearty enough to serve as a main course.
