SOPA DE TORTILLA



Sopa de Tortilla image

Categories     Fry     Simmer     Boil

Yield makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup corn, grapeseed, or other neutral oil
6 corn tortillas (stale are fine), cut into 1/4-inch strips
3 garlic cloves, sliced
1 large onion, diced
2 dried chiles, preferably pasilla, stemmed, seeded, and sliced
3 fresh tomatoes, roasted (page 493) or blanched and peeled, or canned tomatoes
6 cups chicken or vegetable stock, preferably homemade (page 160 or 162)
1 cup shredded cooked chicken
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, or to taste
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1 cup cubed Mexican fresh cheese, such as queso fresco, blanco, or ranchero (see page 85), or Monterey Jack cheese
1 ripe avocado, peeled, pitted, and sliced

Steps:

  • Put the oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat; a couple of minutes later, when the oil is hot, begin to fry the tortilla strips in batches until golden brown and crisp, turning after a minute or two, for a total of 2 to 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
  • Discard all but 2 tablespoons of the oil. Turn the heat to medium, add the garlic and onion, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the chiles, tomatoes, and half the tortilla strips and cook for another 5 minutes. Pour in the chicken stock and bring the mixture to a boil, then simmer for 20 minutes. (You can prepare the soup up to this point and let sit for a few hours or cover and refrigerate for up to a day before proceeding.)
  • Cool slightly. Using an immersion blender or an upright blender (be careful to prevent spattering), puree the mixture until smooth. Return to the stove over medium heat, stir in the chicken, and heat through. Season with the lime juice, salt, and pepper. Garnish with the cilantro, cheese, avocado, and remaining tortilla strips and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different toppings. You can add anything from avocado to sour cream to cheese to your soup.
  • Make a big batch of soup so you can have leftovers for lunch or dinner the next day.
  • If you don't have time to make the soup from scratch, you can use a store-bought tortilla soup mix. Just be sure to doctor it up with some fresh ingredients.
  • Serve the soup with a side of warm tortillas, chips, or bread.

Conclusion:

Egg tortilla soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover tortillas. So next time you are looking for a new soup recipe to try, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
