Quick and Easy Tortilla Soup Recipe
Ingredients
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 can roasted tomatoes
500 ml chicken/vegetable stock
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1/2 tablespoon paprika (1/2 paprika and 1/2 smoked paprika)
1 1/2 tablespoon sugar
One can read or black beans
A medium red onion
3 medium cloves of garlic
Directions
Dice up the onion and garlic into small pieces.
In a large pot on medium high saute the onion in 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil.
Saute the onion for 4 minutes then add the sugar and the garlic. Saute another 5 minutes.
Add the rest of the spices and continue to saute for another 2 minutes.
Add the broth and tomatoes and simmer for 20 minutes on medium heat; covered then use an [easyazon_link identifier=”B01KJMMXFS” locale=”US” tag=”abacu-20″]immersion blender[/easyazon_link] to blend your soup until it’s a smooth consistency or that of tomato soup.
Preparation
Rinse off the beans and add them to your soup.
In the meantime, if you choose to add a meat such as chorizo, chicken or beef, pre-cook it and add it now.
In a separate frying pan pour 2 cups, at minimum, of vegetable oil.
Slice up your tortilla into long strips 1/2″ wide, then twice in the other direction (you will have 1/2″ wide strips that are a few inches in length each).
Once heated add a tortilla strips to the oil and fry until it’s a golden brown.
Remove and place on paper towel to strain off an excess oil.
Place in a serving dish on the side of the soup, the longer they sit in the soup the more soggy they become (and delicious!).
Finish off with a dollop of sour cream in the center of the bowl.
