Azteca Soup

Azteca soup, or tortilla tomato soup, is something I tried out of a slowcooker cookbook over Christmas and my guests raved. This recipe is a hybrid of recipes found online plus the slowcooker recipe.

Puree in blender or with handblender:

1 28oz can diced tomatoes (or fresh tomatoes of equal value)

half an onion

1 cup of cilantro

In pot, bring to boil:
4 cups chicken stock, veggie stock, or water (or a mixture of all, whatever you have on hand)
tomato mixture
1 tbsp of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (found in specialty stores in a can, can be omitted)
Ignored toddler:After bringing to a boil, take off heat. Add juice of one lime.
Garnish:
diced avocado
corn tortilla strips (heat oil in frying pan, add thinly sliced corn tortillas, fry until crispy like a chip)
sour cream

Make again: YES
Ease: 5/5 (except if your blender is missing the rubber ring that keeps liquid from spilling everywhere)
Taste: 5/5
For the kids: You could make them a quesadilla with the corn tortillas and cheddar and chopped avocado on the side. Sour cream for dipping. This way you are using the same ingredients, and you have cheddar in the fridge.
