Classic Mexican Tortilla Soup (Vegan)
4 SERVINGS PREP TIME : 20 min COOK/REST TIME : 120 min
During my time in Mexico I learned a lot about the Mexican Food Culture. One of my favorite recipes - except of Tacos of course - became this deliciously rich and spicy Tortillas soup.  Make sure not to save on cilantro, lime and avocado. The trio is a crucial component in this authentic Tortilla Mexican soup recipe. 
INGREDIENTS PREPARATION
INGREDIENTS :
    • RED TORTILLA SOUP :
    • -  
      800g tomatoes (I used organic/additive-free canned tomatoes from Mutti)
    • -  
      300g organic carrots
    • -  
      2 large garlic cloves (minced)
    • -  
      1.5 white onions (large)
    • -  
      400ml vegetable broth
    • -  
      Spice: 1 red Chili dried (less spicy alternative: 1 dried ancho chili)
    • -  
      Olive Oil to fry
    • TOPPINGS :
    • -  
      Fried Tortillas (cut into slices)
    • -  
      Cilantro
    • -  
      Spinach (optional)
    • -  
      Avocado
    • -  
      Lime
    • -  
      Pepper/Salt
    • -  
      Green Jalapeños
PREPARATION :
  1. Chop the onions and sauté them with a tiny bit of olive oil in a large pot. Meanwhile cut the carrots into medium-sized chunks. As you will puree everything at the end, the veggie cut size isn't that important.
  2. Once the onions turn glossy and translucent add the carrots and the minced garlic and sautéed for a few more minutes over medium heat. Pay attention to the garlic though. Garlic burns very easily.
  3. Then, add the vegetable, your tomatoes and your chili, bring everything to a boil, reduce the heat and let the salsa simmer for at least an hour. (lid closed). The longer you cook the tomatoes in the mix, the sweeter they get and the more vibrant the soup flavor after all.
  4. Right before you're ready to serve the soup, take it from the heat, mix it with a hand mixer or your smoothie maker and season to taste. If flavor is missing, try to add some pepper, lime or veggie stock (if necessary).
  5. To make the soup extra creamy, you can sieve the soup and just snack the leftover fibrous tomatoes .
  6. Serve the soup with fried tortillas, loads of cilantro and lime, avocado, green jalapeños and spinach if you like. For the fried tortillas, I recommend you to prep a regular corn tortilla according to my recipe on the blog, just fry them in oil and cut them into slices or squares right before serving.
