SOPA AZTECA



Sopa Azteca image

After graduating college, I loafed around in Mexico for a few months. I rented a little apartment above the garage of a wonderful Mexican family who took me under their wing. The mother made this very flavorful sopa Azteca with interesting textures. It was my favorite dish of the whole trip. I had to watch her make this soup and literally count out all the ingredients because she made this soup from her heart, not from a recipe.

Time 1h10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 dried red chile pepper pods
5 tomatoes, cut into wedges
1 small onion, cut into wedges
1 cube chicken bouillon
4 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons ground thyme
salt and ground black pepper to taste
vegetable oil as needed
4 corn tortillas, cut into strips
¼ cup Mexican crema, or to taste
2 limes, cut into wedges
1 avocado, cubed

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add chile peppers and boil until soft, about 10 minutes. Transfer peppers to a dish and let cool slightly, about 5 minutes; reserve chile water. Remove and discard stems and seeds from peppers, keeping a few seeds if you like a spicy soup.
  • Combine chiles, tomatoes, onion, bouillon, oregano, and thyme in an electric blender; add as much reserved chile water as possible to fill line. Blend until liquefied.
  • Strain chile mixture into a large pot. Add remaining chile water, adding additional water if necessary. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and let simmer, 20 to 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry tortilla strips in the hot oil under golden brown and crispy, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
  • Distribute soup evenly between serving bowls and garnish with fried tortilla strips, crema, lime wedges, and avocado.

AZTEC SOUP (SOPA AZTECA)



Aztec Soup (Sopa Azteca) image

This is a version of tortilla soup, found in a Central American magazine called Mucho Gusto. I personally like mine with a bit of lime squeezed over it, but I'm posting the recipe exactly as written. This is also excellent (better, in my opinion) using turkey.

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 36

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, smashed
2 dried chipotle peppers, reconstituted and minced
1 red onion, diced
1 small pinch cumin
1 small pinch smoked cayenne
1 small pinch smoked paprika
Pinch sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
5 cups chicken broth or 'Liquid Gold' Chicken Broth, recipe follows
1 cup organic canned tomatoes, hand-crushed (recommended: San Marzano)
1 big pinch Greek oregano
1 cup hand-picked cooked chicken meat
1 sprig epazote
1/2 cup wild rice
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 ears corn
1 cup cooked black beans
Pinch brown sugar
Dollop creme fraiche
Handful fresh coriander (cilantro), minced
1 cup fried tortilla strips
1 lime, quartered
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, crushed
3 red onions, coarsely chopped
3 carrots, coarsely chopped
3 ribs celery, coarsely chopped
Big pinch sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 whole organic chicken, cut in pieces
1 pint organic chicken bones
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/3 cup celery leaves
1 bay leaf
1 sprig fresh thyme
1 sprig fresh tarragon
5 whole black peppercorns

Steps:

  • To make Aztec Soup: In a large pot, heat the extra-virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and saute for 2 minutes, until golden. Throw in the minced chipotles, red onion, cumin, smoked cayenne, smoked paprika, sea salt, freshly ground pepper and saute for 8 minutes. Deglaze the pot with chicken broth and add the tomatoes, Greek oregano, chicken meat and the sprig of epazote. Stir. Partially cover pot and simmer soup for about 40 minutes.
  • Boil some salted water in a separate pot. Throw in the wild rice and simmer for 40 minutes. Strain.
  • Heat a grill pan on medium-high heat. Brush some canola oil on the ears of corn. Grill the corn for a few seconds on all sides until marked. Slice off the corn niblets. Add the corn, wild rice, and cooked black beans to the soup. Season the soup with brown sugar, sea salt, freshly ground pepper and coriander (cilantro) to taste.
  • Serve this soup with a dollop of creme fraiche, crispy tortillas and a squirt of fresh lime juice.
  • To make 'Liquid Gold' Chicken Broth: Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the crushed garlic cloves and saute for 2 minutes, until garlic is golden. Add the onions, carrots, and celery. Season the vegetables with sea salt and freshly ground pepper. Saute for about 8 minutes. Cut the organic chicken and chicken bones into pieces. Really hack into it so that the bones and marrow are exposed. Add the chicken pieces and pint of chicken bones to the pot. Fill the pot with water until it just covers all the chicken, and bring to a boil.
  • Tie the parsley, celery leaves, bay leaf, thyme, and tarragon into a bouquet using butcher's twine or kitchen twine. Add the bouquet to the pot along with the black peppercorns.
  • Once the broth has begun to boil, bring the heat down to medium-low. Partially cover, and let the broth simmer for 2 to 3 hours.
  • Strain the chicken broth through cheesecloth. Hand-pick the good chicken meat and set it aside.
  • Refrigerate the broth overnight. Slip a sharp knife around the edges of solidified chicken fat and discard.
