Today MrsP and I went to Northpark Mall in Dallas and had a late lunch at the Mermaid Bar in Neiman-Marcus. It's not really a bar but a department store restaurant catering to customers and employees, and known for its excellent salads and sandwiches. I had their Tortilla soup as a side and as always is the best I have ever had. Just outstanding, I can't tell you how much I enjoyed it! The recipe has been published many times before, I found it on the site, The Daily Meal.
