Sopa Azteca ingredients: tomato guy?

[HelperGuy]

Salvadore at Tio Domingo once regaled me on the ingredients in tortilla soup that would make it genuine. I completely forget the special herb/plant, but in reviewing the recipe from Lorraine Russo of La Nueva Posada, I see one ingredient listed as tomato guy (Saladeta). Anybody know what this is?

Google Saladena and every description is types of cheese, feta and goat.

Here's Lorraine's recipe in English:

Here's Lorraine's recipe in Spanish:

The Spanish version calls for jitomate chico (saladet). Saladet refers to plum tomatoes.

And while Lorraine's recipes don't mention epazote, I agree with the Walkers that many Sopa de Azteca recipes do include epazote.

Thanks, all. The English recipe on mexconnect.com has changed from the last time I downloaded it; guy musta been a typo. And I believe epazote is the ingredient I was thinking of.
