  • ¾ cup Mexican cream not sour cream
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 4 cups water

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Roughly chop the tomatoes, onions, and garlic and fry in 2 tablespoons of oil.
  2. Cook until the onions and tomatoes are starting to brown.
  3. Blend the tomatoes, onion, and garlic with 2 cups of water.
  4. Strain the blended tomato mixture pressing well on the pulp to extract maximum flavor.
  5. Put the cream into a large mixing bowl. Add a few tablespoons of the pureed tomato base. Stir to blend base into the cream.
  6. Add a few more tablespoons of soup base at a time and stir until all of the base has been incorporated into the cream. Now add 2 cups of room temperature water and stir for 30 seconds until the mixture is very smooth.
  7. Gently warm 1 cup of chicken broth and then slowly pour in the tomato soup mixture. Stir well until the chicken broth is fully mixed in.
  8. Bring the soup to a gentle simmer and then simmer for 20 minutes until the soup has thickened. Do not allow the soup to boil or the cream will start to clump.
