Sopa Azteca

I had sopa azteca for the first time in Mexico City and have since been obsessed. It’s basically a better version of classic tomato soup and so easy to make!

Servings: 2-3

Ingredients:

• 2-3 tbsp oil

• ½ onion, roughly chopped

• 3 roma tomatoes, roughly chopped

• 2 tsp minced garlic

• 3 dried chilies pasilla

• 2 cups vegetable broth (do 3-3 ½ cups for a thinner soup)

• 1 tsp oregano

• 1 tsp black pepper

• 3 corn tortillas

Toppings:

• avocado

• cotija cheese

Directions:

1. Heat a pan on medium heat and add 2-3 tbsp of oil 

2. Add onion, tomatoes and garlic and cook until onions are translucent

3. Add dried chilies and cook for 2-3 minutes

4. Add broth and spices and bring to a simmer

5. Once simmering transfer to a blender and blend until smooth (let cool before blending if needed)

6. Cut tortillas into thin strips and toss with a little oil

7. Air fry the tortilla strips at 400 degrees for 8-9 minutes

8. Add soup, tortilla strips and toppings to a bowl

9. Enjoy!
