Salsa Vegetable Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat; cook and stir onion, yellow bell pepper, and garlic in the hot oil until softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Add potatoes, carrots, zucchini, and enough water to cover mixture by 2 inches. Stir salsa into the mixture and add Italian seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, bay leaves, chili powder, and paprika.
• Cook soup over medium-low, maintaining a slight boil, until potatoes soften, about 40 minutes. Add broccoli and peas; cook until broccoli is tender, about 20 more minutes. Remove bay leaves.

Steps:

• Stir all ingredients in a large pot. Cook over medium heat for 30 minutes or until vegetables are tender.

Steps:

• Place broth into your favorite soup pot. Heat broth on medium.
• Meanwhile, in a food processor (if you don't have one, use a blender), chop the onion and garlic, using 1 second pulses until well chopped, but not mushy, about 8 pulses.
• Add tomatoes, jalapeños, cumin, 1 tablespoon lime juice and pulse until mixture is very fine, almost pureed.
• You should have just about 1 cup of salsa.
• Turn up heat under soup.
• Add shredded chicken to broth.
• When soup just starts to simmer add salsa mixture, 1 tsp lime juice, and 1 tablespoon cumin.
• Quickly stir and remove from heat. (You just want to incorporate the salsa, not cook it).
• Adjust seasonings to taste.
• To Serve:.
• Cut mozzarella into to half inch thick round slices and place slices in bottom of soup bowls.
• Ladle the simmering broth into bowls over the cheese.
• Let the soup sit for about 2 minutes, to allow the heat of the soup to soften the mozzarella.
• Serve with garnishes on the side.
• (If you choose to add the garnishes before serving, add them right before serving so as not to cook the cilantro or avocado. I do not recommend adding the sour cream ahead of time).
• Make sure to tell your guests that there is wonderful melted cheese on the bottom of the bowl!
• Enjoy!
