Base Ingredients

Method

Soup Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Add Bell Pepper and Tomatoes

    Add the chopped red bell pepper and diced tomatoes to the pot. Cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to break down slightly.

  3. 3

    Add Broth and Seasonings

    Pour in the chicken broth and add cumin, chili powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a boil.

  4. 4

    Simmer the Soup

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for 20-25 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Serving

  1. 5

    Prepare Toppings

    While the soup is simmering, prepare the toppings. Dice the avocado and chop the cilantro.

  2. 6

    Serve the Soup

    Ladle the soup into bowls, and top each serving with a handful of corn tortilla chips, diced avocado, chopped cilantro, and a sprinkle of shredded cheese.

  3. 7

    Finish with Lime

    Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the soup before eating.
