Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp. of vegetable oil

- 2 large garlic cloves minced
- 2 tsp. of ground cumin
- Some salt and some pepper
- 6 cups of broth preferably chicken
- 4 corn tortillas cut into little strips
- ¼ cup fresh parsley… some folks use cilantro but I hate that stuff. Yuck.
- 1 roasted chicken from the supermarket shred off about a pound of meat
- 1 cup of grits made in advance or 1/4 cup of uncooked add 20 minutes to cooking time below
- Sour cream
- Tortilla Chips
Instructions
- Get a big pot and heat the two Tbsp of oil.
- Add in the onion, the jalapeños, the cumin, and the garlic. Season it with the pepper and the salt. Cover and cook for 5 minutes over medium heat.
- Pour in the broth and those tortilla strips, bringing to a boil and then simmer for 5 minutes.
- Add the parsley and pour it all in a blender (or use a stick blender one if you are all fancy-schmancy). Blend it all up, mama.
- Take your soup goop and add the chicken and grits. Heat on low for about 5 minutes. (Longer if you are using dry grits…about 20 min… maybe even add a quick boil.)
- Put it in bowls. Dollop on some sour cream and add chips.
- Eat it.

Brian Gerard (Lewandowski) writes books critics call "aggressively adequate"—better than "aggressively terrible" but somehow more concerning. He once traded a MetroCard for a pitchfork on a subway platform and now uses it exclusively for dramatic pointing. He lives on a farm outside Charlottesville, Virginia with three disappointed potted plants, a judgmental pig named Trouble McFussbucket, and a wife who smiles politely at his life choices.

His first manuscript was composed entirely of punctuation marks and confused sketches. He's since published "Not Bukowski" (poems that don't rhyme) and "Slop and Swell from a Festering Mind" (essays so concerning that bookstores check on his well-being). He once spent three hours photographing a rare bird that turned out to be a plastic bag, and he's the only person banned from church bake sales for "weaponized brownies." Inheriting absurdism from Vonnegut and Adams, sprawling narratives from Irving, and weaponized failure from Moore, he writes about conflicted everymen struggling through supernatural chaos.
He has two new, offbeat novels waiting for an agent or a publisher: "Truth Tastes Like Pennies" and "Elliot Nessie."
He remains unconvinced that birds aren't surveillance drones.
