Description

Super quick and easy soup. Oh yeah, and it’s pretty figure-friendly too.

Ingredients

  • 1 container Chicken Stock (32 Oz.)
  • 1 can Crushed Tomatoes, 28 Oz
  • 1 can Tomato Paste, 6 Oz
  • 4 cloves Garlic
  • ½ cups Red Bell Pepper, Roughly Chopped
  • 1 whole Onion (large) Peeled And Roughly Chopped
  • ½ cups Green Bell Pepper, Roughly Chopped
  • ⅓ cups Fresh Lime Juice
  • 2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1-½ teaspoon Cumin
  • 1 Tablespoon Fresh Chopped Cilantro
  • 1 leaf Bay Leaf
  • 2 slices Corn Tortillas
  • ½ cups Sliced Green Onions
  • 6 teaspoons Reduced- Fat Sour Cream (1 Tsp. To Top Each Bowl)
  • 2 teaspoons Kosher Salt

Preparation

The first thing I did was dice up the onions, peppers, garlic and cilantro. Don’t worry about chopping it perfectly because you’ll throw everything in the blender later. In a medium-sized pot, I sauteed the veggies in olive oil until they became tender, and added the cumin. Next, I added the chicken stock and crushed tomato and tomato paste. Lastly, I added the bay leaf and lime juice. I let this simmer over medium heat for about 8-10 minutes. Add salt to taste.

While the soup was simmering, I lined a small cookie sheet with foil. I then took the corn tortillas and with a pastry brush, brushed them with canola oil. I cut them into slices and lined them on the cookie sheet. I baked until nice and golden brown on a 400 degree oven.

Next I added the soup and all of the veggies into the blender and mixed on high speed until the soup was nice and silky. Be sure you remove the bay leaf before doing this. Blend really well so you have a really smooth soup. Pour in a bowl. Add a dollop of sour cream, and top with the scallions and tortilla strips.

oh hey goodyarns- no worries… I only just discovered how to post something on someone’s wire. Not sure of what the etiquette is- if someone posts something on your wire, do you respond on your own wire or do you respond on theirs? We can all learn together.

Just a comment…the low rating….it is partly because I clicked on he rating to see why it was around a 1.5 rating, and it entered me as rating it low. I didn’t mean to…just trying to check and see who rated and why. sorry!
