Categories     Soup

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 13

½ cup vegetable oil
¼ cup chicken base
3 cups diced yellow onions
2 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoon chili powder
2 teaspoon granulated garlic
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 - 2 teaspoons salt (or to taste)
2 cups masa harina
4 quarts water
2 cups crushed tomatoes
½ pound processed American cheese ( cut in small cubes)
3 pounds diced cooked chicken ( (you can use 2 rotisserie chickens))

Steps:

  • In a pitcher or large measuring cup, combine the masa harina with 1 quart of the water. Stir until all lumps dissolve.
  • In a large pot, combine the oil, chicken base, onions, cumin, chili powder, granulated garlic, salt, and cayenne. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients: Chop, dice, and measure all your ingredients before you start cooking. Having everything ready to go will make the cooking process go much smoother.
  • Use the right kind of chili peppers: Choose chili peppers that are appropriate for your desired level of heat. For a mild soup, use mild chili peppers such as ancho or pasilla peppers. For a medium-spicy soup, use guajillo or chipotle peppers. For a very spicy soup, use habanero or cayenne peppers.
  • Toast your spices: Toasting your spices before adding them to the soup will enhance their flavor and aroma. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the spices. Toast for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the spices.
  • Use fresh, flavorful ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your soup. Use fresh, ripe vegetables and high-quality meat and cheese. If possible, use homemade chicken broth instead of store-bought.
  • Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the soup, the better it will taste.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: Top your soup with shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, cilantro, or any other toppings you like. This will add extra flavor and texture to the soup.
