- .RH MOD.RECIPES-SOURCE SOUP-AZTEC SP "25 Oct 87" 1988
- .RZ "SOPA AZTECA" "Aztec soup: a simple cheese, tomato, and beef soup"
- I got this recipe from my mother, who got it from a friend in Tucson, Arizona.
- The recipe is extremely simple and extremely quick. I like to serve it with
- Mexican chef's salad (SALAD-MEXICAN).
- .IH "Serves 4\-6"
- .IG "2 cups" "consomm\z\(aae" "500 ml"
- .IG "2 cups" "cream of tomato soup" "500 ml"
- (use the recipe of your choice, or open a can)
- .IG "4 oz" "green chilies," "100 g"
- diced (or use more or less, to taste)
- .IG "\(14 lb" "corn tortilla chips," "100 g"
- crumbled
- .IG "\(12 lb" "Monterey Jack cheese," "200 g"
- cut into
- .AB "half-inch" "1-cm"
- (or smaller) cubes.
- .PH
- .SK 1
- Mix soups and bring to a boil.
- .SK 2
- Fill each soup bowl about 1/3 full with crumbled tortilla chips.
- Place a layer of cheese cubes on top of the chips. Put one or two spoonfuls
- of diced, drained chilies on top of the cheese.
- .SK 3
- When ready to serve, ladle boiling soup on top of the mixture in the
- soup bowls. Do not stir. Serve immediately.
- .NX
- The boiling soup melts the cheese, but it also begins to make the chips soggy
- as soon as you pour it on. If you chop the cheese into finer cubes, it will
- melt more quickly, but if you chop it too fine, or if you grate it, then the
- cheese will form a layer on top of the soup instead of remaining as disctinct
- chunks.
- .SH RATING
- .I Difficulty:
- easy.
- .I Time:
- 5 minutes preparation.
- .I Precision:
- no need to measure.
