It's cooled down considerably in the last couple of days, making the evenings too cool for open windows, officially making it soup season, which I love. There's nothing like a big bowl of steaming yumminess to warm you up.
Tortilla soup is one of my favorites, and this one is excellent. Everyone in my house loved it, my dad was scraping his bowl. Make it for dinner!
Tortilla Soup
from simply recipes
6 (6-inch) corn or flour tortillas, preferably a little old and dried out
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 small onion, chopped (1/2 cup (I used more like a whole cup))
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 medium jalapeño chile, seeded (leave a few seeds for spice), veins removed, chopped
4 cups chicken broth
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 can of Rotel diced tomatoes and green chiles, drained
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt (kosher or sea salt)
1 1/2 cups shredded cooked chicken ( I used more like 2-2 1/2 cups)
1 ripe medium avocado
1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (2 oz) (or other mild, melting cheese)
Chopped fresh cilantro
1 lime, cut into wedges
If you are starting with somewhat old, dried out tortillas, great. If not and you are starting with relatively fresh tortillas, put them on a baking sheet and put them in the oven at 200°F for 10-15 minutes to dry them out a bit. It is best to start with tortillas that don't have a lot of moisture in them. Cut tortillas in half; cut halves into 1/4-inch strips. In 3-quart saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Fry strips in oil, 1/3 at a time, until light brown and crisp. Remove from pan; drain on paper towels. Reserve.
Heat oil remaining in saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook onion in oil 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add garlic and chile; cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until vegetables are crisp-tender. Stir in broth, tomatoes and salt. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 15 minutes. Add chicken; heat until hot.
To serve, peel and pit the avocado. Cut into 1-inch slices. Divide half of tortilla strips among 4 individual serving bowls; ladle in soup. Top with avocado and cheese; garnish with remaining tortilla strips and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.
Serves 4.
Mmm this looks good. I love tortilla soup but have never made it from scratch. I am saving this recipe.

ReplyDeleteMmm! I don't know what the weather is like down in Georgia, but here in Ohio it has been dreary and cold. Tortilla soup sounds like the perfect cure. (:
ReplyDeleteTortilla soup is the best! Yours looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteSoup season is my favorite season too. Aside from a pile of mashed potatoes and gravy I am not sure there is much else that can warm me up on a cool cloudy Seattle evening. This torilla soup sounds wonderful, I have a friend who is always looking for a new one to try. I will pass this on to her.
ReplyDeleteLooks great. I love tortilla soup.
ReplyDeleteThanks!! The lime makes a great addition!
ReplyDeleteI make tortilla soup w/ a jar of salsa in place of the long list of other ingredients. I add the salsa to chicken broth, diced roasted chicken, canned black beans, and frozen corn. Bring to a simmer, then place in bowls w/tortilla chips, avocado, jack cheese, and a dollop of sour cream on top. Yours look great too, but why not take the short cuts and then bake some pumpkin bread with the extra time!
ReplyDeletewoah! yum! i love a good soup.
ReplyDeleteone of our favorites in the winter. I like the way yours looks so chunky. I might have to give yours a whirl..
ReplyDeletewe usually add carrots, green onions and at the end a dalop of sour cream.
mmm.
I made it! It was great. I added some corn tortillas to the broth while it was simmering. I also added cumin and chili powder.
ReplyDeleteHi, I recently found your blog, and this caught my eye! I'm making it for dinner tonight, and also the apple crisp. =) Thanks, you have great photos and a nice blog!
