Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Mexican Azteca Soup.
Step 1
To start your delicious soup, grab a large skillet and warm up some vegetable oil over medium heat.
Step 2
Once the oil is shimmering, gently add half of your tortilla strips, frying them in batches until they turn a beautiful golden brown and become irresistibly crispy.
Step 3
When they’re ready, transfer the strips to a plate lined with paper towels to soak up any excess oil, and don’t forget to sprinkle them with salt, giving them a little toss to ensure every bite is flavorful.
Step 4
Next, it’s time to create a vibrant purée.
Step 5
In a blender or food processor, combine fresh tomatoes, onion, and cilantro, blending until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Step 6
Now, take a saucepan and pour in some chicken broth, adding the chipotle peppers along with your freshly puréed vegetable mix.
Step 7
Bring everything to a gentle boil, then remove it from the heat to let those flavors mingle.
Step 8
When you’re ready to serve, ladle the warm soup into bowls, and just before diving in, crown each bowl with those crispy tortilla strips and some diced avocado for a creamy finish.
Step 9
Enjoy this comforting dish that’s sure to warm your heart and delight your taste buds!.
