Tortilla soup has become a staple for Tex Mex restaurants. It is a great way to begin a meal, or to serve as a main dish with the addition of rice and meat. The tortilla soup at Qdoba has earned a reputation for being a perfect fit for a Craft 2 combination, the foundation of our Mexican Gumbo, or as a belly-warming midday meal. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon vegetable oil |
1/2 cup red onion, minced |
1/2 cup poblano pepper, diced into half-inch pieces |
3 cups vegetable broth |
2 corn tortillas |
1 tablespoon fresh garlic, minced |
2 teaspoons jalapenos, seeds and ribs removed |
1/2 teaspoon cumin, ground |
1/2 teaspoon chili powder, ground |
2 cups fire-roasted tomatoes, diced |
1/2 cup tomato, crushed |
2 teaspoons kosher salt (to taste) |
Directions:
1. In a 2 quart saucepot over medium heat add oil, onions, and poblanos and cook for 5 minutes.
2. Add garlic, jalapeno, cumin and chili powder and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
3. In blender, place broth and tortillas, and puree until just about smooth.
4. Add blended mixture to pot along with fire roasted tomatoes and crushed tomatoes, bring to a boil.
5. Reduce heat and let simmer for 15 minutes on medium-low heat. Season to taste and serve with garnish.
6. Try out the Qdoba Chefs’ recommended garnishes: 1 tbs. tortilla chips, crushed; 1 tbs. zucchini, diced in 1/2” pieces; 2 avocados, thinly sliced; 1 tsp fresh cilantro, roughly chopped.
