Tortilla Soup March 4, 2008

Filed under: Ethnic, Lunch, Pork, Soups — aframeglamour @ 3:21 am

Ingredients
6 Tortillas (Cut Into Strips; If you can find the par baked tortillas in the refrigerated section, buy those, otherwise regular tortillas work fine; I cut these with a pizza wheel, it’s faster)
2 T. Olive Oil

1 Clove Garlic (Minced)
1 t. Red Pepper Flakes
1 t. Garlic Powder
1 t. Cumin
2 Bay Leaves

1 Tomato (Diced)
2 C. Shredded Pork & Pinto Beans (Precooked; I use leftover Laura’s Chalupa’s meat, recipe on this blog)
1/2 C. Green Chile (I use this recipe on this blog)
Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Sour Cream
Canola Oil

Method
1. Saute the onions, garlic, tomato and spices in the olive oil until soft. Add the pork and beans and green chile. Add enough chicken broth to cover. Bring to a boil. Add more chicken broth if necessary. Simmer 20 minutes on low heat.
2. Fry the tortilla strips in canola oil. Drain and sprinkle with salt.
3. Serve soup with cheese, sour cream and tortilla strips on top.
