Guest guest Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 I've never had soup with chocolate in it. I just want to make sure that's not a type-o. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 Crystal, It's not a typo. The chocolate is what makes it a mole. It's usually a thick sauce made with unsweetened chocolate in Mexican cuisine. Just make sure you use unsweetened cocoa or chocolate. It's a really different taste from the sweet chocolate we think of. Kathy On Fri, Jan 29, 2010 at 12:17 PM, Crystal Beavin <beavin6 wrote: > > > I've never had soup with chocolate in it.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 Mole is awesome. I used to enjoy a chicken mole at a hole-in-the-wall restaurant back in my omnivore days. If you go to your local mexican grocery store, you can find pre-made mole mix. I don't know if it's vegan. But if it is, it might be a way to dip your toe into mole (along with this awesome looking recipe). http://www.mexonline.com/molepoblano.htm On Fri, Jan 29, 2010 at 11:17 AM, Crystal Beavin <beavin6 wrote: > I've never had soup with chocolate in it.
