  • Charring the vegetables first builds deep flavor without any fancy technique
  • Blending raw tortilla strips into the base naturally thickens the broth
  • Fully customizable toppings make it easy to feed picky eaters too
  • 6 corn tortillas, cut into thin strips, divided
  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil, divided
  • +11 more ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon fresh herbs
  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Fry half the tortilla strips for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring, until golden and crisp. Remove to a paper-towel-lined plate and set aside as garnish; save the remaining raw strips for the soup base.

Continue simmering until the sauce reduces and coats the back of a spoon.

Rest the dish for five minutes before serving with your favorite side.
