Ingredients

9 ripe tomatoes
7 fresh jalapenos
11 cloves garlic
4 medium sized onions, quartered
11 fresh green Anaheim chiles
Olive oil
8 cups chicken stock
6 cups plum tomatoes (whole or crushed)
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon granulated garlic
1 1/4 pounds tortilla chips
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Cotija cheese
Cilantro leaves, chopped

Directions

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F.

Place the tomatoes, jalapenos, garlic, onions, and green chiles onto a sheet pan or cookie sheet and then drizzle with olive oil. Place the sheet tray into the preheated oven and roast until they turn golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.

Into a large stockpot add the chicken stock, plum tomatoes, and roasted veggies and cook over medium heat for two minutes. Add cumin, paprika, granulated garlic, and tortilla chips and then simmer for 10 minutes. *Remove stock pot from the flame and pour the contents into a blender. Puree the mixture, starting on low and then increase speed to high, until well combined. Work in batches if all the liquid does not fit into your blender. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Return the pureed soup to a clean pot and simmer to keep warm until you're ready to serve. Garnish with tortilla strips, cotija cheese, and cilantro.

*When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.

Not the same , but still O.K
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

Hi, I live about 1 hour away from Santa Fe. When we saw this episode we packed up and went for the weekend. We went to all... same places. My favorite was this tortllia soup, it was more creamy and smooth at the market, & also had chicken in it. I guess I was hoping for the same taste, but it wasn't. I guess I'll have to leave it to them to make! JillRead more

A great twist on tortilla soup.
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

The only negative about it was the amount - you could easily cut this in half and still have plenty. Next time I might seed... the jalapeno peppers. It is spicy but good. I added more traditional toppings - cheese, sour cream, and avocado with the tortilla chips and it was really good. I will make this soup again. Read more

Great Recipe
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

The recipe is delicious. I added a few items such as celery, bay leaves, pasila chilies instead of anaheim chilies and 1 cup... of milk. It was very tasty!! Loved itRead more

So good!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I love this recipe! I've made it 3 or 4 times already and everyone including my 2 year loves it. I do cut the ingredients... down by half and sometimes I mix the peppers up a little since my grocery store doesn't always carry the ones I need. I love the consistancy of this soup, too.Read more
