Savory Tortilla Soup

This soup came out so tasty and flavorful. The pan-fried tortilla strips added some nice crunch, and I also served the soup with some sour cream, Monterey Jack cheese, cilantro and scallions. It was an easy, light yet tasty soup.

Directions

Remove stems and seeds from ancho chilies.

Place chilies in a saucepan, cover with water and cook until soft, about 10 minutes.

Drain chilies, let cool, then purée in a food processor or blender.

While chilies cook, cut up two tortillas into small pieces.

In a large saucepan, sauté tortillas, onion and garlic in 2 teaspoons canola oil until onions are soft.

Add ancho pepper purée or chili powder, chicken stock, tomato purée, cumin, oregano and salt to saucepan.

Bring soup to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes.

Purée soup in a food processor and return it to saucepan.

Stir in lime juice and reheat.

Slice remaining tortillas into ¼ inch x 2-inch strips.

Heat remaining oil in a medium skillet. When oil is hot, add tortilla strips and sauté until crisp, about 2 minutes.

Transfer tortilla strips to a paper towel to drain.

Ladle soup into bowls and top with tortilla strips, cheese and garnishes, as desired.
