Tortilla Soup Ingredients

Method

Tortilla Soup Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Base

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened.

  2. 2

    Add Spices and Broth

    Stir in the chopped jalapeño, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for another minute, then add the chicken broth and diced tomatoes. Bring to a boil.

  3. 3

    Simmer the Soup

    Once boiling, reduce the heat and let the soup simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  4. 4

    Add Chicken and Cilantro

    Add the shredded chicken and chopped cilantro to the pot. Stir well and let it cook for an additional 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Ladle the soup into bowls and top with fresh avocado slices, tortilla strips, and a dollop of creme fraiche.
