Tortilla Soup

[eliza097]

yum!



[heidishoshana]

I make mine with lots of leftover homemade pico de gallo, chicken broth, corn, and black beans and the same spices that you used. I also add in tortilla strips to soak in the broth that act like dumplings and a corn starch slurry to thicken it up so it's more stew-like

[2810juju]

Came out great. So delicious. Very easy to make. The whole family loved it. Thanks.

[ChefTips]

@2810juju

[ChefTips]

@RockyBalboa211 Yum!!!

[britanyleann]

I am thinking I might make this! Looks super good :)

[ChefTips]

@britanyleann We sure like it! It's on our weekly rotation. :)

[TKnightcrawler]

Made it today. Added a pasillo pepper with most seeds removed, used about 50% more vegetables and butter, cooked them longer to soften more, about 1/3 more spices (got more vegetables, but same amount of stock, so that's why).

Was very good! Thanks for the recipe!

[ChefTips]

@TKnightcrawler You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it!

[matchupchu]

My husband and I just made this soup tonight and this is by far the best tortilla soup I've ever had. To top it off it was so easy to make. I will definitely be making this again in the future and its being added to the favorties category in my recipe book. Thanks !!! :)

[ChefTips]

@matchupchu Wow! Thanks for the amazing compliment!

[LinSF03]

That's so delicious!! you should try the balack bean soup, which is super simple and cheap: Boil the beans until cook, then use only the liquid (caldo) fry strips of tortilla, dice finely some white onions, serrano chiles and some cilantro, then serve the torillas into the caldo and garnish with a spoon of sour cream and garnish with the serrano, cilantro and onion it taste SOOO GOOD!!

Thanks Chef for all the tips and the great smile!!

[ChefTips]

@LinSF03 Thank you! I love black bean soup, so I'll give your recipe a try. Cheers, Jason

[phickle]

Tried this recipe this evening and it is delicious! Served it with the traditional table garnish of lime, whole oregano and chopped scallion. Might try it with shrimp next time.

[ChefTips]

@phickle Glad you enjoyed it! Shrimp would be great in this.

[phickle]

That looks awesome! Can't wait to try it. Bet it would be great with shrimp, too.

[duckletshut]

[givememoore22]

[ChefTips]

@givememoore22

[TheMhineq]

[Espeonpwnsuall]

Amazing. Some of the best food ive had.

[ChefTips]

@Espeonpwnsuall Thanks!

[cristi2377]

Esto no es sopa de tortilla

[ChefTips]

@cristi2377

Sure it is. It may be a little different than some of the other variations.

Cheers!

[cauichin]

@cristi2377 cierto es una clasica version americana. la que preparo es friendo tomate y cebolla con epazote y ajo despues agregar chips para luego licuar todo junto agregar caldo de pollo y freir queda sensacional y es la version mas conocida y aceptada en mexico, suerte.

[benihya]

the best soup ever, tonight will be the 4th time i make it in 2 months

[ChefTips]

@benihya Thanks so much! I'm so glad you've enjoyed the recipe!

[jackieh716]

I am Mexican and have been looking for a really good Tortilla Soup. This one is the best so far. I made it one time before and I am making it again today. Yummy... Do you think you can get the recipe for Sweet mole chicken enchiladas. I once had them at Olvera Street and have yet to taste any like them.

[ChefTips]

@jackieh716 I'm so glad you enjoyed this recipe! I'm on the hunt for the sweet mole enchiladas. I will post as soon as I get it! Cheers, Jason

[nikkicatdoll]

I tried this recipe. Sooo good!! Thank you. I also put a little bit of sour cream on mine in addition to the other toppings.

[ChefTips]

@nikkicatdoll Mmm. Sounds great! Thanks for sharing your tips!

[amesguy515]

@nikkicatdoll You can never go wrong with sour cream. ;-)

[Aiotgun]

I have always loved chicken tortilla soup, it's so tasty. I'm gonna use your vid as a reference tomorrow to make it, thanks for the great video!

[ChefTips]

@Aiotgun Thanks! Hope you enjoy it!

[modelstatus010]

[ChefTips]

@dou

Hi. Six to eight bowls, or 10 to 12 cups.

[TheTrishatrisha]

hey...u made my day...so yummy!!!aaaahhhh....bless u....

[dreday081]

This ended up being the best tortilla soup I have ever tasted. And it was easy. I even got a praises from my girlfriend's grandma and that's saying a lot. I did make a few additions though.

I added about a 1/2 - 3/4 cup of half & half and added about 3/4 cup of Monterrey Jack and 3/4 cup of cheddar cheese. (Grandma did look at me funny when I added this though) lol. But when it was time to eat it was nothing but smiles.

All n all 2 thumbs up... Thanks for the recipe...

[ChefTips]

@dreday081

Thank you for the compliment! Glad grandma approved! ;-)

[RandolfLedesma]

I tried this... and it was soooo good.... :)

[ChefTips]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[juframo63]

wow, I have been looking for this recipe. Thank you, Jason. I love tortilla soup.  By the way; do you have a remote idea how to make oatmeal raisin cookies like those from Macdonalds? Those are delicious, crunchy and sticky to the tongue.

[ChefTips]

@juframo63

Thanks, hope you enjoy this recipe.

McDonald's probably has a bakery make up their cookies. If they are baking them on site, they are probably using a frozen cookie dough product. My wife does have a good recipe that I will share in a video sometime.

[memento12777]

Hi Jason, great vdeo , i am planning on making this tonight or tomorrow. I know this will sound like a stupid question but i am from the uk and our terms can vary here. I was wondering what the tomato sauce was. Is it like passata? or is just chopped tomatoes? or is it like a pre made pasta tomato sauce which has added flavours etc? Tomato sauce is often ketchup here. I would also like to that you for the tomato soup recipe you posted, i made it the other day and it went down a storm

[ChefTips]

Hi! The sauce is a basic tomato sauce used for pasta. I used the Contadina brand. It is a tomato puree made from tomato paste, water, sugar, garlic powder, onion powder and salt. Hope this helps!

[winnRN24]

This looks yummy! Can't wait to try the recipe!

[ChefTips]

Hope you enjoy it!

[lupelicious]

it's too americanized! Lol, I'm mexican and we don't add all that for it. When you wan it simple, just shred the chicken add it to to the broth. Then, you just heat up the torillas (I cut them in triangles) and when the soup is hot, just add them in. They get a bit soggy, but I assure you, they taste good like that! Yum.

[juframo63]

this guy just try to help others to cook. I know how the mexican food tastes; am latino too but enjoy this guy recipes. he is a great cook. Just appreciate how he helps others to cook nice.

[RockyBalboa211]

@lupelicious: I don't think its americanized. He is just making it really complex, it looks similar to what I had at an mexican restaurant near Matamoros. 

[jfonseca81]

One again I impressed my family with an outstanding dish! After a failed attempt to fry the tortillas in a pan, I chose to toast them it in the oven instead. It worked out wonderful and it was less greasy. Great recipe chef! Thanks

[ChefTips]

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the recipe. Cheers! Jason

[bebovirgo]

Awesome recipe but I cant try it being a vegetarian...chef can you suggest me the substitute for chicken for tortia soup

[ChefTips]

You can just leave it out and pack it with more carrots and celery. It will taste just as good!

[atheismsaves]

Thank you Jason!!!

[rickyriffle]

Im hispanic, I live in Los Angeles and I've never ate Tortilla soup. Im so trying this. Thanks for the recipe.

[ChefTips]

Wow! Thank you. I sure hope you enjoy it. Cheers! Jason

[chongma]

lovely spicy soup. just made it and it was great. a handful of rice could work really well in this as well

[ChefTips]

I agree! Feel free to experiment with it. I'm so glad you enjoyed the recipe. Cheers! Jason

[fortunechild1000]

I'm going to try this one, thanks!

[ChefTips]

@fortunechild1000

Hope you enjoy! Thanks!

[GosselinQueen]

[corderoy17]

I made this tonight and OMG IT IS SOOOOOOOO GOOD!

[ChefTips]

Awesome! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Jason

[connydavila]

It looks delicious, but here in Mexico we use this ingredients for a chicken soup, the tortilla soup is just the chicken broth with tomato, garlic and onion with the tortilla chips, mozarella, chihuahua, oaxaca or any white cheese, avocado, chipotle pepper and cream.

[cherDJ]

I'm going to try this one. Been disappointed with some tortilla soup recipes in the past, but this one looks like it's right on the money to me. I LOVE tortilla soup - can't wait to taste this. Thanks for posting Jason.

[baytownbert2]

That stuff looks righteous!

[Katwest13]

I am going to try this! It looks delicious...but I am always afraid of frying things. LOL!

[ChefTips]

Hope you enjoy it! My wife is afraid of the fryer as well. Just keep a close watch on them. Having the homemade tortilla strips makes this soup extra good! Let me know how it turns out for you! Cheers, Jason

[spartaEMS581]

It's 7 am in the morning and new I wanted Tortilla soup for dinner. I'm gong to try this recipe tonight. I would love to see the actual recipe posted so I could print it out.

[ChefTips]

Hope you enjoy this soup as much as we do!

Cheers!

Jason

[Danterwhoo]

I cooked it for my wife last night (she doesn't like Mex) and she loved it. Next time I am going to add more chicken and veggies to make it a little heartier. But great recipe!!

[ChefTips]

Thanks! More chicken and veggies are always good! Cheers, Jason

[unknownuser1070]

[MasterClubs11]

When someone asks you a question, is it really u that answers or you have a manager or something,

Im just curious

[ChefTips]

That's a Dexter Russel 145-10 knife. And yes, we answer all of our comments. No managers yet!

Take care, Jason

[ChefTips]

Hello midnightmistress8675!

Yes you can leave out the avocado for this recipe.

[Cutman3030]

You have a great smile.

[ChefTips]

Thanks! :) Jason

[bentley928]

hey thanks chef, i really like this recipe as well as the fish tacos. do you happen to know how to make red chile for enchiladas?

[ChefTips]

Thanks so much! And yes, we have a great red enchilada sauce recipe! We'll add this to our request list. Thanks so much! Jason

[angusMCjamison]

that is a wonderful recipe. i was looking for something to do with my refrigirated arabic tortillas :) i guess i can make a side dish of gwakamoli (or however you spell it) instead of fresh avocado over cooked tomoato sauce!

[cowboy0212]

gwakamoli

:$ hehe

[Zatoichi444]

Awesome recipe! The only thing I would do different, is that right at the end, I would bring it next door and throw it in the neighbors' face...

[ChefTips]

I know what you mean. I have a neighbor I'd like to do that too. The only difference is that they don't live next door, but across the street.

[techtuberguy]

Hey Chef, quick Q, if i decide to go with the chipotle chile, are those just the ones that come in cans?

[ChefTips]

Yes, that's right. Thanks! Jason

[apezr90]

All of your videos make me so hungry afterward. I've seen most of your videos and you have given me some great ideas! I love your channel!

Can I make a request? I'm a vegetarian, and I'm always looking for some great vegetarian dishes, I know you made the chili, but are there any other dishes you know how to make that are vegetarian?

--April

[ChefTips]

Thanks! Do you eat dairy and eggs? Let me know your limitations and we can come up with something!

Thanks!

Jason

[apezr90]

Yes, I eat dairy and eggs, but I do not eat seafood of anytype or any meats, so basically I'm a lacto-ovo vegetarian.

Thanks, April

[ChefTips]

Great. Let me see what I can prepare for you!

Jason

[cris103009]

[MGABBYB]

Looks yummy. I had tortilla soup every day for lunch when I was in Mexico. I'll have to try making it myself some day...

[ChefTips]

Try it! It's very simple and so delicious. Healthy too! Thanks for your comment! Jason

[djdevo]

Hey! You slice Avocado the same way I do! =S

That looks stinkin' good!

Faved and fived!

Cool Beans!

[ChefTips]

Thanks DJDevo! Hope you enjoy this one! Jason

[manjuiceblaine]

Another excellent recipe.

This makes a wonderful vegetarian dish as well when made with vegetable broth and vegetarian chicken-substitute (I recommend Quorn (tm) brand as it holds up well in soups and has a pleasant flavor). This from an avid meat eater who has to cook vegetarian alot to maintain domestic peace. The powerful seasoning in this soup makes it hard to distinguish from 'classic' and vegetarian style.

Another wonderful video

[ChefMerlin]

Looks great... and very elegant plating job!

[ChefTips]

Thanks ChefMerlin!

[techtuberguy]

of course ur wife says it's the best.. shes your WIFE!!. LOL. jus givin ya a hard time. I'm gonna try this. thanks for this and all the other good vids. my compliments to the chef.
