Thick, creamy, and full of flavor, this is a unique tortilla soup. There isn't much meat in it but it's thick like a chowder. The seasoning combination gives this corn soup a Southwest feel.

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 23

2 Tbsp oil
1/2 medium green bell pepper, chopped
2 stalk(s) celery, chopped
1/2 lb ground beef
1 tsp finely chopped jalepeno (I used the kind for nachos)
1-2 pinch red pepper flakes according to amount of heat you want
1 pkg taco seasoning mix (1.25 oz)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1 box chicken broth, low salt (32 oz)
1 can(s) creamed corn (14.5 oz)
1 can(s) cream of chicken soup (10.5 oz)
1 1/4 c milk (1 soup can full)
3 green onions, chopped
1 tsp fresh cilantro chopped fine
6 corn tortillas (plus 5 for garnish)
GARNISH WITH ANY OR ALL OF THESE
1 Tbsp sour cream
1 Tbsp chunky salsa
diced avacado
Mexican blend shredded cheese
thin strips of corn tortillas fried crispy

Steps:

  • 1. Heat the oil in a 5 quart pot and saute the bell pepper and celery for about 5 minutes to soften.
  • 2. Add the ground meat, jalapeno peppers, taco seasoning, garlic powder, cumin, and cinnamon, and saute until the meat is browned (about 5 more minutes).
  • 3. Add the chicken broth. Cover and simmer for about 10 minutes.
  • 4. Then add the creamed corn, cream of chicken soup, milk, green onion, and cilantro. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes (more if you want it spicier).
  • 5. Place 6 corn tortillas in a stack and cut them into 1/2 to 1-inch squares. When the soup comes back up to a simmer add the cut-up tortillas and continue to simmer, covered until the tortillas are just about totally dissolved in the soup (about 15 minutes). Stir often to keep the soup from scorching.
  • 6. Serve and enjoy with any or all of the suggested garnishes. If you want a crunchy garnish, stack the extra 5 tortillas and slice them into thin strips and fry them in hot oil for a few minutes until they are starting to turn a shade darker and are nice and crispy. Drain on paper towels. Then just add as much as you want to each serving. Of all the garnishes you will definitely want a spoon of sour cream in each serving.
