California Pizza Kitchen Sedona White Corn Tortilla Soup
This soup features a blend of white corn and tomatoes with sautéed garlic, onion, and jalapeño for a mild heat and aromatic base. Fried tortilla squares add a toasty corn flavor, pureed with tomato paste and spices like cumin and chili powder for a thick, textured soup. Garnishes of blue corn tortilla chips, cheddar cheese, and cilantro complete the dish.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoon olive oil
- 7 corn tortillas cut into squares
- 1 1/2 tablespoon garlic minced
- 2 tablespoon white onion minced
- 1 1/2 teaspoon jalapeno pepper minced
- 1 pound white corn kernels
- 1 1/2 pounds tomato chopped
- 1/3 cup tomato paste
- 2 1/2 teaspoons cumin
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 1/2 cup water
- 1 quart chicken stock
- 24 blue corn tortilla chips (optional garnish)
- 2 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 1/2 cup cilantro chopped
Instructions
- Over medium-high heat, fry tortilla squares in olive oil until they begin to crisp and turn a golden yellow. Add garlic, onion and jalapeno; cook 1 to 2 minutes, until onion becomes translucent.
- Add half the corn along with all other ingredients (except garnishes), reserving other half of corn to be added at the end. Bring the soup to a low, even boil. Boil for 5 minutes. Remove soup from heat.
- Use a hand-held propeller blade processor to process in batches to the consistency of a course puree. You can also process in batches in a blender. Return the soup to the burner and add the reserved corn. Bring the soup to a boil once again being extremely careful to avoid scorching or burning the soup. Serve, garnished with blue corn tortilla chips, cilantro and sharp cheddar cheese.
