SOPA AZTECA
After graduating college, I loafed around in Mexico for a few months. I rented a little apartment above the garage of a wonderful Mexican family who took me under their wing. The mother made this very flavorful sopa Azteca with interesting textures. It was my favorite dish of the whole trip. I had to watch her make this soup and literally count out all the ingredients because she made this soup from her heart, not from a recipe.

Steps:
- Bring a pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add chile peppers and boil until soft, about 10 minutes. Transfer peppers to a dish and let cool slightly, about 5 minutes; reserve chile water. Remove and discard stems and seeds from peppers, keeping a few seeds if you like a spicy soup.
- Combine chiles, tomatoes, onion, bouillon, oregano, and thyme in an electric blender; add as much reserved chile water as possible to fill line. Blend until liquefied.
- Strain chile mixture into a large pot. Add remaining chile water, adding additional water if necessary. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and let simmer, 20 to 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry tortilla strips in the hot oil under golden brown and crispy, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
- Distribute soup evenly between serving bowls and garnish with fried tortilla strips, crema, lime wedges, and avocado.

AZTEC SOUP (SOPA AZTECA)
This is a version of tortilla soup, found in a Central American magazine called Mucho Gusto. I personally like mine with a bit of lime squeezed over it, but I'm posting the recipe exactly as written. This is also excellent (better, in my opinion) using turkey.

AZTECA SOUP ADOPTED
For authenticity, sub. lard for the olive oil. Garlic and onions have been imported to C.A. since the Spanish. Celery? I don't know. For Basil, Mexican oregano. Beef would be a festival food, so make vegetable stock, instead. Lime, avocado, corn, tomatos, jalapeno, all New World foods. I wasn't sure about this one, but it is great! Wouldn't change a thing. Original poster's coments follow: A wonderfully tasty, quick, low calorie, and filling soup--fit for Montezuma after a hard day at the sacrificial altar. Serve hot to 6 as complete lunch--or as a substantial first course.
