Instructions
- Place the tomato, stock, pasilla chile, and oregano in a blender. Puree and set aside. (see note #1 below)
- Place a saucepan or stockpot over medium heat and add oil to coat the bottom. Add the carrot and onion and saute until lightly browned.
- Add the tomato-chile puree, salt & pepper. Bring to a simmer and taste for seasoning. Add more if needed.
- Add the shredded chicken and simmer for about 10 minutes to develop flavor.
- Serve hot and garnish with the tortilla strips, avocado & cheese. Squeeze some lime juice to taste if desired.
Notes
- Note #1: When blending your broth, you may need to do this process in two separate batches so that your blender does not overflow.
- I added carrots to bulk up the recipe but you can easily omit them if desired.
- Calories are for the soup only. Calories for toppings are not included as that varies depending on the quantities you decide to use.
