Michele the Trainer’s Organic Tortilla Soup

Michele the Trainer’s Organic Tortilla Soup

Can’t make it to Mexico?   Then make your own Tortilla Soup ala Michele the Trainer

Which, of course, means you don’t need tortillas!

Shopping list:

Organic Red Tomatoes, any variety is fine, heirlooms are better!

Organic white and/or purple onion

Organic Carrots–diced small

Organic Celery–diced small

Organic Frozen Corn Kernals

Organic powdered Cumin  ***caution…less is more….start with 1 Tablespoon….use less and then taste at END of cooking to determine if you need more**

Celtic Sea Salt, to taste

In a 4″ mulling ball (giant tea bag ball or mesh ball), put a bunch of Organic Cilantro, a couple of Bay Leaves and one OPTIONAL Jalapeno, and a couple Organic Poblano or Organic Anaheim Chilis <goal here is to toss it all when soup is done>.  In my kitchens I call this ball The Ganesta.

  • Fill a large pot HALF FULL with water & put on the stove–
  • Fill a high speed blender full of tomatoes, and blend–then dump into pot on stove
  • Fill again with half tomatoes and half onions (I used 2 full onions)–the dump that also, into pot on stove
  • Add the remaining ingredients
  • Simmer & Stir until carrots are as cooked as you desire and all flavors are blended
  • Salt and add more Cumin to taste

Now it’s ALL about the GARNISH…..

Tortilla Soup Toppings:  I call Toppings “Floaties”…..to me, soup is all about the Floaties

Fill a pretty plate with:

Finely diced organic onion and/or organic scallion

Organic Lime Quarters  ***note…the better these limes are, the better this soup will be….really!!!***

Finely Chopped Cilantro (chop or cut by hand with kitchen shears)

Optional:  Cubed Organic Avocado

Strips of Organic Corn Tortillas, of course

Organic Brown or Organic Wild Rice (already cooked)

Michele the Trainer’s Pico de Gallo is a nice add (recipe in this book:  http://www.michelethetrainer.com/checkout
