LIME SOUP (SOPA DE LIMA)



Lime Soup (Sopa De Lima) image

Provided by Joe Drape

Categories     dinner, lunch, soups and stews, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Vegetable oil for frying
8 ounces corn tortillas (preferably a mixture of red, white and blue), cut into 1-inch strips
1 8- to 9-inch stick Mexican cinnamon, broken into pieces
2 teaspoons dried Mexican oregano
5 whole cloves
8 cups chicken stock
1 pound chicken breast, cut into 3/4 inch dice
4 to 6 tablespoons fresh lime juice, as needed, plus 4 to 6 slices of lime, for garnish
Salt
8 ounces shredded Monterey Jack cheese
2 avocados, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
1/2 cup finely sliced cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Place a large skillet over medium-high heat, and add about 1/2 inch oil. Set aside a baking sheet lined with paper towels. When oil shimmers, add a strip of tortilla; oil is hot enough when tortilla becomes crisp and very lightly browned in about 30 seconds. Adjust heat as necessary and add strips in batches, transferring to paper towels as they cook.
  • Heat oven or toaster-oven to 400 degrees. Place cinnamon pieces, oregano and cloves on a baking sheet or metal tray, and roast until lightly browned and fragrant, about 5 minutes; be careful not to burn.
  • Place chicken stock in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Add roasted spices, lower heat, and simmer for 10 minutes. Pour stock through a fine-meshed strainer into a clean pan, and return to a simmer. Add diced chicken and simmer until chicken is opaque in center, about 10 minutes. Add 4 to 6 tablespoons lime juice, as desired, and season with salt to taste.
  • To serve, place equal portions of chicken in center of each soup plate. Top with a small mound of fried tortilla strips and 1 to 2 tablespoons shredded cheese. Pour chicken broth into bowl, keeping mound intact. Garnish each bowl with avocado, a slice of lime and cilantro.

SOPA DE LIMA (MEXICAN LIME SOUP)



Sopa De Lima (Mexican Lime Soup) image

Hot or cold outside, this soup is light and refreshing. I first enjoyed this dish while sitting ocean-side in Mexico. Goes great with a margarita or beer and a side of chips and salsa. Use whatever chilies you want (hot or mild) depending on the amount of heat you enjoy. Serve in bowls with crushed tortilla chips or strips on top.

Time 1h5m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

9 cups chicken broth
5 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 large red onion, quartered
5 cloves garlic, chopped
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 green onions, chopped
1 large green chile pepper, seeded and chopped
2 large tomatoes, peeled and chopped
6 limes, juiced
½ lime
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
tortilla chips, for topping

Steps:

  • Bring the chicken broth, chicken breasts, red onion, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and thyme to a boil in a large pot; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the chicken breasts are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 15 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove the cooked chicken to a cutting board and shred into bite-sized strips; return to the simmering pot.
  • Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook the green onions and green chile pepper in the hot oil until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir the tomatoes into the mixture and continue cooking until soft, about 5 minute more; pour the mixture into the pot with the chicken soup. Season with the salt; return the soup to a simmer. Add the lime juice and 1/2 a lime; cook another 10 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and remove the lime half; stir in the cilantro to serve.

SOPA DE LIMA (YUCATAN LIME SOUP)



Sopa de Lima (Yucatan Lime Soup) image

Provided by Food Network

Time 45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

8 corn tortillas
1/2 cup vegetable oil
Salt
1 medium onion, chopped
1 celery rib, thinly sliced
1 carrot, thinly sliced
1 jalapeno or serrano pepper, stemmed, seeded and finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 bay leaf
1/4 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano, crumbled
1 large tomato, peeled and chopped
8 cups chicken stock or canned low sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 green onions, finely chopped
3 limes, juiced (about 1/3 cup)
1 large avocado, peeled, pitted and coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Cut the tortillas into 1/4-inch strips. Heat the oil in a medium skillet and, when very hot, fry the tortilla strips, in small batches, until lightly golden and crisp, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Transfer to paper towel lined plate to drain. Season with salt, to taste. Repeat until all tortilla strips have been fried. Set fried tortilla strips aside and reserve the vegetable oil.
  • Transfer 1 tablespoon of the reserved cooking oil to a large saucepan and add the chopped onion, celery, carrot, and jalapeno pepper. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until vegetables have softened, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic, bay leaf, and Mexican oregano and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the tomato and season lightly with salt. Cook, stirring, until the tomato is softened and has released its liquid and the mixture is nearly dry, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the chicken stock and chicken breasts and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a slow simmer and cook until the chicken is just cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove chicken from the soup and set aside until cool enough to handle. Allow soup to continue simmering.
  • When the chicken has cooled a bit, shred into bite size pieces and return to the pot along with the green onions and lime juice. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the chicken is heated through and the soup is piping hot. Season the soup, to taste, with salt and ladle the soup into wide soup bowls, with a handful of tortilla strips added to each bowl. Garnish with the avocado and cilantro and serve immediately.

GARLIC LIME SOUP



Garlic Lime Soup image

I think this is from a Gilroy Garlic Festival...it's a light, simple, wonderful starter that I serve in mugs before dinner. It's also our cure-all for winter colds. Since it is so simple, the quality of the chicken stock is crucial. I usually add way more garlic and cilantro than the recipe calls for, but heck, when EVERYONE is eating garlic, who cares?

Categories     Low Protein

Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 quart good chicken stock
1/2 cup sliced garlic clove (not TOO thin)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup lime juice
1/2 cup finely chopped cilantro (or chopped green onions if you are a cilantro-phobe)

Steps:

  • Saute garlic in oil SLOWLY til very soft and golden.
  • Add broth, bring to a simmer, add lime juice and cilantro.
  • Garnish with a few whole cilantro leaves.
  • Obviously this can be played with--I've tossed in chopped avocado, crushed tortilla chips, chopped tomato, etc. But the basic simplicity is its beauty.

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 (4- to 5-pound) stewing chicken (preferably organic)
2 medium yellow onions
2 large carrots, halved

3 cloves garlic
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon whole peppercorns
2 tablespoons olive oil

Serve hot with the toppings of your choice.
  • do it early
