Egg, Garlic And Tortilla Soup

Egg, Garlic And Tortilla Soup


1. Heat oil, cayenne pepper, chile powder, and paprika over medium heat in a medium saucepot for about 5 minutes.

2. Add the chopped garlic and cook for two minutes.

3. Add the tortilla pieces and stir until they have absorbed most of the oil, about 30 seconds.

4. Add the chicken stock, parsley, lime zest, salt and pepper and simmer at a low boil for 6 minutes.

5. Add the eggs to the soup, cover and poach for 3 1/2 minutes (or to your liking).

6. To serve, place each egg in a bowl, cover with 1/2 of the soup and top with the lime juice and cheese.

7. Note: Depending on what I have on hand, I change the recipe by:

8. Making it with beef stock.

9. Substituting 1/2 cup of stock with tomato juice.

10. Adding in about a cup of left over carrots, corn and/or chopped tomatoes while heating the spices.

11. Enjoy!
