How to make Easy 10 Minute Tortilla Soup
This tortilla soup comes together in no time at all. It is perfect for weeknights, lunches, or any time you need a super simple meal. The process begins by crisping some corn tortilla strips.
Turn the strips around in the oil for a while until they are crispy and browned. Once the strips are ready, remove them to a plate or bowl.
After the strips are done, cook the vegetables in the remaining oil. Add the tomatoes. Add the seasonings and and hot sauce you may like. Add the lime juice.
Next, it is time to puree the soup. You can do this using an immersion blender (to make it super easy!) or in a food processor or blender.
Once the soup is pureed, divide among bowls. Top with remaining tortilla strips, avocado cubes and queso fresco cheese. Enjoy immediately.
