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 tablespoons sugar
One can read 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 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; cover, then use a blender 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 add 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 a few inches in length each). 

Once heated, add a tortilla strips to the oil and fry until golden brown. 

Remove and place on a paper towel to strain off the 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.
