On a business trip to San Antonio, I discovered this light, refreshing tortilla soup. It was so delicious I had to google search for the recipe when I got home. I have modified it a bit for my family's tastes. Ingredients:
4 -6 slices uncooked bacon, diced to make 1/2 cup |
1/2 cup diced tomato |
1/2 cup diced yellow onion |
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro |
1 teaspoon white pepper |
1 -2 teaspoon ground cumin |
3 cups beef stock |
3 cups chicken stock |
2 -3 corn tortillas, cut into thin strips and fried until crisp |
1/2-3/4 cup shredded monterey jack cheese |
1/4-1/2 cup guacamole |
Directions:
1. Sauté bacon until lightly browned. Drain off excess grease. Add tomatoes and onions; cook until onions are tender. Add cilantro, white pepper and cumin; mix well.
2. Meanwhile, combine beef and chicken stocks and bring to a boil. Add bacon mixture to stock; reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
3. Line bottoms of serving bowls with tortilla strips. Add soup, then top each serving with a sprinkling of cheese (about 2 tablespoons) and some guacamole (about 1 tablespoon). Serve immediately.
