Sopa de Tortilla Azteca
Report
This Sopa de Tortilla Azteca is a simple, flavorful classic Mexican tortilla soup. Made with a silky tomato broth, crispy tortilla strips, and fresh toppings like avocado, shredded Mexican cheese, and a splash of hot sauce, it’s a comforting dish that’s easy to make. Add chipotle peppers for a bit of heat or leave them out for a kid-friendly version.

Instructions
Tortilla Strips
- Take the corn tortillas and cut them into fourths. Then cut the quarters into thin strips.
- Heat about an inch and a half of oil in a deep pan or pot. Once hot, but not smoking, add a handful of the tortilla strips. Let the tortilla strips crisp up. Remove from the oil when they are a nice golden color.
- Place the fried tortilla strips in a paper towel covered bowl. Continue cooking the tortilla strips until all of them are fried. Set them aside.
Tomato Soup
- Next, boil the tomatoes in water until soft. Peel the tomatoes and add them to a blender.
- Blend the tomatoes along with the garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, salt, tomato sauce, water, and chipotle peppers (if using).
- Add 2 teaspoons of oil to a medium Dutch oven or pot on medium heat. Once the ingredients are completely blended and smooth, pour the soup into the pot with the oil.
- Let the soup heat through, for about 5 minutes. Taste for salt and adjust to your taste preference.
- Serve the hot soup in a bowl. Top with a handful of tortilla strips, a sprinkle of shredded or crumbled Mexican cheese, diced avocado, and a few drops of your favorite hot sauce.
- Serve immediately before the tortilla strips lose their crunchiness.

Notes
- Kid-friendly version: Omit the chipotle peppers so the soup doesn't come out spicy.
- Hot sauce is a great topping especially if you don't add any chipotle peppers. The hot sauce is a great complement to the tomato flavor and adds a touch of spice.
- Water is used to add volume to the soup, but you can certainly substitute the water with chicken or vegetable broth for added flavor.
