Souper Broth

This is the world's easiest broth to make and it's super satisfying on its own.  You can also use it to make a wicked Chicken Tortilla Soup.

Ingredients

  • 3-4 plum tomatoes
  • 1 onion
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 4-5 cups stock
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (plus more to taste)
  • olive oil

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Give the tomatoes a good rinse and roast them in the oven (400F) for 20 minutes or so. I usually de-stem them knowing that any juices leftover in the roasting pan will go in the blender.
  2. Peel and roughly chop an onion. Peel 3 garlic cloves. Saute the onion and garlic in a glug of oil over medium heat. Cook until the onion is starting to brown. I usually just leave the garlic cloves whole.
  3. Add the cooked onion-garlic mixture to a blender along the with the roasted tomatoes. Combine well.
  4. Return the mixture to the same pan you cooked the onion in and cook for a few minutes over medium heat.
  5. Add 4-5 cups of stock and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Combine well and bring it up to temp over medium heat. Salt to taste and serve immediately.

Notes

  • I always recommend trying this Souper Broth with homemade stock at least once!   I used this homemade veggie stock. 
  • I usually serve this with crispy, cheesy tortillas.  Simply add cheese to half of a corn tortilla in a dry skillet over medium heat.  Cook until the cheese is melting, then fold in half and cook each side until there are light brown spots forming on the tortilla.    
  • This Souper Broth is the flavor base for the following soups:
  • Chicken Tortilla Soup
  • Albondigas Soup
  • Calabacitas Soup
  • Sopa de Fideo
