Southwest Vegetable Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together in a pot over high heat.
• Bring to a boil.
• Then lower your heat and simmer for about an hour.
• The soup should be thickened and the tortilla pieces will be mostly dissolved.
• To serve, top with crumbled tortilla chips and a little grated cheese.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in the bottom of a soup pot. Cook the onions and bell pepper in the oil until tender.
• Add the broth, tomatoes, beans and corn. Stir and bring to a boil.
• Add the chiles, salt and pepper, cumin, chili powder and hot sauce. Stir.
• Simmer for another 10 minutes and serve with cheese and tortilla chips on top.

Steps:

• In a blender blend stewed tomatoes, honey, green onions, garlic, cilantro, onion, and seasoning.
• In a large skillet add 2 cans chicken broth and the blended ingredients, bring to a boil then simmer for 5 minutes.
• Add all other ingredients except red kidney beans, simmer with a lid for at least 20 minutes.
• Add red kidney beans, bring to a boil then simmer for 10 minutes.

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven or soup kettle, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add the remaining ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15 minutes.

Steps:

• In a saute pan over medium heat, warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add yellow onion, garlic, and cilantro. Saute to a golden brown. In a food processor, combine the sauteed mixture and the Roma tomatoes and process until smooth.
• In the same saute pan, over medium heat, warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add tomato mixture, cumin, and lime juice. Cook until thickened and darkened for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring frequently or as necessary to avoid scorching. Transfer mixture to a large saucepan.
• Over medium-low heat, add chicken stock and acho chile to saucepan. Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until mixture is moderately thickened (approximately 30 minutes.) You may season, to taste, with salt and black pepper when this process is complete.
• While soup is cooking, cut tortillas into thin strips. In a frying pan over medium-high heat, heat the vegetable oil. Drop tortilla strips in hot oil. Turn with tongs until crisp and brown, approximately 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain. Place aside.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Coat chicken breasts with Southwest seasoning mixture. Place on a sheet pan and bake until internal temperature is 145 degrees F. Remove from oven. Set chicken aside to rest. Chop into bite-sized pieces, preserving coating as much as possible.
• Place desired amount of fried tortilla strips in bowl, top with prepared baked chicken pieces. Ladle soup over top. Garnish with shredded cheese, tomato, avocado, and green onions.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Rub all over with 1 teaspoon olive oil and season the cut sides with salt and pepper. Arrange cut-side down on a baking sheet and roast until very tender, about 30 minutes (a fork should easily pierce the skin). Set aside until cool enough to handle, then scoop out the squash into a bowl and discard the skin.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the tortilla pieces and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the carrots, red onion, chile, garlic, cumin, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring, until the onion has softened, about 4 minutes.
• Add the roasted squash, broth and 3 cups water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until the carrots are very tender, about 25 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
• Working in batches, transfer the soup to a blender and puree until smooth; return to the pot. (Or puree the soup in the pot with an immersion blender.) Add up to 1 cup water if the soup is too thick and reheat if needed. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with toppings.

Steps:

• In the bottom of a slow cooker, combine pork, onion, bell pepper, jalapeno, garlic, chili powder, cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper. Stir to combine. Add broth, tomatoes and beans, cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours or HIGH for 3 to 4 hours.
• When ready to serve, ladle soup into bowls and top with avocado and cilantro. Garnish soup with lime wedges.
• Serve with cornbread, if desired.

• Saute celery, potatoes, and carrots for 3 minutes, adding seasonings about halfway through.
• Add beans, broth, water, and tomatoes. Stir.
• Bring soup to a boil, then reduce heat to low.
• Simmer over low heat for up to an hour, though the potatoes will be done as early as 30 minutes in, depending on their size.
• Serve piping hot, sprinkling cheese over top if desired.

Steps:

• In a large pot, brown the ground beef; stir to crumble the ground beef; drain.
• Add in water and remaining ingredients.
• Bring to a boil; lower heat and simmer for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally (I simmer covered for the first 1 1/2 hours, then uncovered the last 30 minutes).
