Tortilla Soup

November 9, 2020 · In: Main Dish, Recipes, Video

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Today I am sharing my all-time favorite fast and delicious soup recipe, with a complete video tutorial to walk you through the steps!

Tortilla Soup is the kind of dinner we all need right now. Easy. Comforting. Delicious.

This recipe yields big, flavorful results from minimal effort. The depth of flavor that comes from this simple recipe is due to paying attention to a few key details along the way (which I point out in the video below). And because the soup serves as a base for toppings, everyone gets to make it their own!

A video tutorial is included below!

  • While the soup is simmering, process all the canned tomatoes with their juices.Β  There are several ways to do this.Β  You can use a food processor, an immersion blender, or a standard blender.Β  You need the tomatoes to be completely pureed and liquified.
  • After the soup has simmered for 15 minutes, add the pureed tomato mixture to the pot.
  • Stir in 3 teaspoons Kosher salt, and bring back up to a simmer.Β  Simmer on medium-low heat, covered, for about one hour. Β Add the chicken and the corn, and simmer for five minutes until the corn is heated through.

I took a spring break field trip to Dallas with my friend Nicole, and our sole purpose was to eat lunch at Loro.

Did we order half the menu for only the two of us? We did. 

Was every bite totally worth it? Absolutely.

In an effort to get inspired to add a touch of spring to my home, I did an internet deep-dive to create what I think is a beautiful collection of inspiring images designed to spark my inner home-decor maven.​​​​​​​​

The result is a game-plan for small ways I am planning on fluffing my home for spring without redecorating every room.​​​​​​​​

No, we didn’t travel with the dog. Yes, we did travel halfway with toddlers. Yes, we broke down on the side of the highway and rode in a tow truck. Apart from that drama, it was lots of food, coffee, band, shopping, hanging, filling out Oscar ballots, and watching Lillian master the hoverboard.
