Method

Preparation of Broth

  1. 1

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrot, celery, and bell pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic and Spices

    Stir in the minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add Tomatoes and Broth

    Add the canned diced tomatoes (with juices) and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil.

  4. 4

    Simmer the Soup

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for about 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

  5. 5

    Finish with Cilantro

    Stir in the chopped fresh cilantro just before serving for added freshness.

Serving the Soup

  1. 6

    Prepare Toppings

    While the soup is simmering, prepare the toppings by dicing the avocado and cutting the lime into wedges.

  2. 7

    Assemble the Soup

    Ladle the hot soup into bowls and top with tortilla chips, diced avocado, and if desired, shredded cheese and sour cream.

  3. 8
