Don Pablo’s Tortilla Soup
Description
Don Pablo’s Tortilla Soup starts with simmering chicken breasts in water alongside carrots, celery, onion, garlic, and a blend of salts and peppers to create a deeply flavored broth. After removing the chicken, the broth is enhanced with Rotel tomatoes, cilantro, corn, and cumin. Shredded chicken is returned to the pot and cream is stirred in to add richness and body.
Tortilla strips fried in peanut oil provide a crunchy base in the serving bowls, topped with shredded Monterey Jack cheese before ladling over the hearty soup. The result is a soup that balances wholesome ingredients with contrasting textures and a mildly spiced, creamy broth.
This soup serves about 12 and can be enjoyed as a filling starter or main dish. The combination of the fried tortillas and melted cheese creates a distinctive layered presentation and eating experience typical of tortilla soup variations.
