My wife makes a chicken tortilla soup that is very similar. Fill bowl with soup, add tortillas, shredded mexi-cheese, a dab of sour cream and some cut up avacado chunks. Best soup ever.

Sopa de tortilla -- Sin Latas

Ingredients

1/2 cup corn oil; 6 corn tortillas, cut into 1/4 inch strips

3 garlic cloves, sliced; 1 large onion, diced

2 dried chilies, preferably pasilla, stemmed, seeded, and sliced

3 fresh tomatoes, roasted

6 cups chicken stock; 1 cup shredded cooked chicken

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

salt and pepper

1 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves

1 cup cubed cheese, such as queso fresco, blanco or monterey jack

1 ripe avocado, peeled, pitted and sliced

Method:

* Heat the oil in a saucepan over med/high heat for a couple minutes. * Begin frying the tortilla strips in batches until golden brown and crisp. * Drain on paper towels and set aside. * Discard all but 2 tablespoons of the oil and turn the heat to medium. * Add garlic and onion, and saute until softened, about 5 minutes. * Add the chiles, tomatoes and half the tortilla strips and cook another 5 minutes. * Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil, simmer for 20 minutes. * Let the soup cool slightly, and then puree the mixture until smooth in blender or with immersion blender. * Return mixture to the stove over medium heat, stir in the chicken and heat through. Ladle into individual bowls. * Garnish with lime quarters to squeeze into the soup, cilantro, cheese, avocado, and tortilla strips. Crema Mexicana tastes good in this if you can get it.

The soup sounds really good.
Do you think it would be better to buy the canned Mexicorn or frozen?
I was thinking maybe roasting corn, and searing the chili’s on the bbq might be good. But then that really does take away the easy part.

It's a name brand and very easy to find, if you've never tried it or looked for it before.

Sounds delish! I love affordable and easy meals. Spending all my time off from work in the kitchen is only fun when the whole family is home. Otherwise, it’s what can I throw together in a hurry, so I can clean-up and get to bed by 10:30. All the other recipes sound wonderful, as well. Thanks.

Theres nothing like freshly grilled chiles - a la farmers
market Saturdays in Santa Fe NM. They grill in a huge rotary
wire mesh drum while you wait. Best eaten immediately or
at lest within a couple of hours.

One problem with these soups is that the prepared seasoning mixes, and sauces are ALWAYS too salty for me. I’m looking into making my own homeade seasonings that will make the final product more palatable.
