Yummy Vegitarian Soup for a Cold Winter’s Day

Last night as the snow was beginning to fall here in Philly I made this quick, easy, yummy soup recipe from Rachel Ray… I made some substitutions to make it vegetarian. It was delicious with the whole wheat tortilla black bean and cheese quesadillas I made to go along with it…

Here’s the recipe:

Home Made Tomato Tortilla Soup


By: Every Day with Rachael Ray Staff

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 4 cups chicken broth ** I used vegetable broth here to make it veggie!!
  • One 28-ounce can peeled tomatoes, coarsely chopped, and their juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Juice of 1/2 lime
  • Seven 6-inch corn tortillas, torn into small pieces
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro (optional)

Directions:

  1. In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the garlic, onion and crushed red pepper and cook over medium heat until the onion is translucent, about 7 minutes. Add the chicken broth and the tomatoes and their juice, bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
  2. Add the cumin, salt, lime juice and tortillas and simmer for 2 minutes.
  3. In a blender, puree the soup in batches. Garnish with cilantro and serve.
