She made several dishes out of leftover tortillas and tortilla soup was one of the best. Made in a manner of soups from Mexico, this tried and true tortilla soup is filled with many ethnic ingredients such as tomatoes, garlic, onion, cumin and cilantro to create a savory soup that can be served as an entr\u00e9e. Tortilla soup is really best served in the winter for its thickness and spiciness\u2026but here in Texas, it\u2019s so good we serve it all year-round!&#8221;\n<h3>Ingredients<\/h3>\n2 small onions, roughly chopped\n10 fresh tomatoes, cored\n1 Tbsp. garlic\n\u00bc cup chili powder\n2 Tbsp. cumin powder\n1 head of cilantro\n6 tortillas\n2 quarts chicken stock\n2 Tbsp. salt\n1 \u00bd tsp. pepper\n1 Guajillo chili\n1 Pasila Chili\n2 Tbsp. blended oil\n<h3>Directions<\/h3>\n1. In a food processor puree the onion, garlic and tomatoes to a smooth puree.\n2. Stem the dried chilies and remove the seed then soak in hot water for 15 min then drain.\n3. Julienne the tortillas into strips and using \u00bc cup blended oil saute in a thick-bottomed pot until crispy but not burnt.\n4. Add the puree and chilies to the tortilla and cook for about 10 minutes until thick and the raw taste is gone.\n5. Add the spices, chicken stock, salt and pepper. Simmer for 20 min.\n6. Puree well using a immersion blender and add lime juice.\n7. Ensure it is at a perfect consistency, if necessary you can reduce a bit more. Now is the time to taste for salt, add additional if necessary.\n8. Serve with crispy corn tortilla strips, avocado, sour cream and pico on top as a garnish.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11724\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.omnihotels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/OMNIFB-17001-Soup-Promotion-Recipes-for-Blog-Tortilla-Soup.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1026\" height=\"684\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.omnihotels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/OMNIFB-17001-Soup-Promotion-Recipes-for-Blog-Tortilla-Soup.jpg 1026w, https:\/\/www.omnihotels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/OMNIFB-17001-Soup-Promotion-Recipes-for-Blog-Tortilla-Soup-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.omnihotels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/OMNIFB-17001-Soup-Promotion-Recipes-for-Blog-Tortilla-Soup-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.omnihotels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/OMNIFB-17001-Soup-Promotion-Recipes-for-Blog-Tortilla-Soup-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1026px) 100vw, 1026px\" \/>\n<h4><em>Experience more <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.omnihotels.com\/sensational-soups\">Sensational Soups<\/a>.<\/em><\/h4>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-11706\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.omnihotels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Chef-Gabino-Acosta-thumbnail-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><em><strong>Executive Chef Gabino Acosta<\/strong><\/em> has been affiliated with Omni Hotels &amp; Resorts for years.
