Spicy Mexican Tortilla Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a 6-quart saucepot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and peppers and cook for 2 minutes or until tender-crisp, stirring occasionally.
• Stir in the tomato paste, corn, beans, tomatoes, broth and chicken and heat to a boil. Reduce the heat to low. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve topped with crushed tortilla chips or strips, if desired.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Cut tortillas into 1/2-inch-thick strips and arrange them on a cookie sheet in a single layer. Bake them 5 to 10 minutes, or until crispy.
• In a large saucepan, bring the chicken broth and chicken bones to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Place a colander over a second large saucepan and strain the broth through it. When the bones are cool enough to handle, pick off the remaining meat and add it to the strained broth. Stir in the onion, tomatoes, jalapenos, and lime juice. Heat about 5 minutes more to blend flavors.
• Cut the corn from the cobs and add it to the soup. Divide the baked tortilla strips among 4 bowls. Ladle in the soup and serve with bowls of cilantro leaves, cubed avocado, and crumbled cheese to use as toppings at the table.

Steps:

• Heat dressing in large saucepan on medium heat. Add onions, jalapeños and garlic; cook and stir 5 min. or until onions are crisp-tender. Add chicken breasts, broth, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce and seasonings; bring to boil. Reduce heat; simmer on medium-low heat 20 min. or until chicken is done (165°F), stirring occasionally.
• Remove chicken from saucepan; shred with fork. Return chicken to soup; stir. Simmer 25 min., stirring occasionally.
• Add corn and cilantro; stir. Simmer 10 min. Serve topped with cheese and crushed tortilla chips.

Steps:

• In a large heavy bottomed pot, heat the oil on medium-high heat. Saute the onions. Add bell pepper, jalapenos, salt and pepper. Cook until the onions become translucent. Add the cumin and stir until fragrant. Add the chicken broth, tomatoes, corn, and 1/4 cup of the cilantro. Add the diced chicken and cook through for about 10 minutes. Season with salt, to taste.
• Ladle soup into bowls and divide the crushed tortilla chips between the bowls. Top with sour cream, Monterey jack cheese, cilantro, sliced avocado, and lime wedges.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Place tomatoes, onion, and garlic on a cookie sheet covered with aluminum foil and roast at 425 degrees for approximately 25 - 30 minutes or until softened and slightly charred.
• To a large stock pot over medium high heat, add the 1 tablespoon of olive oil, the poblano pepper, and jalepeno pepper. Saute about 5 minutes or until softened.
• Add the cumin, corriander, and cilantro and saute about one minute.
• Add the roasted vegetables to the pot along with about 3 cups of chicken stock.
• Using a hand held emulsifier puree (or transfer to a food processor to puree then place back into the pot) the vegetables with the stock.
• Check consistency of the soup and depending on how thick or thin you would like your soup add in the rest or part of the leftover chicken stock.
• Add in the hot sauce, salt, and pepper.
• Bring the soup back up to a boil, turn down the burner to medium low, and then let the soup simmer for about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the vegetable oil over high heat in a large wok or deep pot.
• When the oil is hot add the tortilla strips in small batches, so as not to overcrowd the pot. Flip the tortilla strips after about two minutes on one side and fry on the other side. (Timing for frying will depend on the temperature of your stove top).
• Using a slotted spoon remove tortilla strips from the hot oil and drain on paper towels.
• When soup is done simmering, taste for acidity and flavors. At this time I decide whether or not to add in the sugar. If it is very acidic from the tomatoes I add it if not then I leave it out. Also add in more salt and pepper at this time if needed.
• Add in almost all of the tortilla strips to the soup and stir.
• Immediately, ladle soup into large bowls for serving and top with tortilla strips, cheese, and avocado.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a pot over medium heat; saute onion and garlic until onion is transparent, about 10 minutes. Add chipotle peppers; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add chili powder and cumin; cook and stir until mixture is heated through, about 5 more minutes.
• Stir broth, pinto beans, garbanzo beans, and black beans into onion mixture; bring to a boil. Add tomatoes, reduce heat, and simmer until soup is heated through and flavors have blended, about 20 minutes. Add corn and cinnamon; cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 more minutes. Season with cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
