Effortlessly whip up a flavorful turkey tortilla soup using leftover turkey, corn tortillas, and spicy chipotle in adobo.
Ingredients:
  • Pinch ground cumin
  • 6 6-inch yellow corn tortillas
  • 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, canola oil, or peanut oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced, about 2 teaspoons
  • 1 chipotle chili in adobo, minced
  • 6 cups turkey stock or chicken stock
  • 1 15-ounce can crushed tomatoes (use fire roasted if available)
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (more to taste)
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded turkey meat
  • Garnishes:
  • 1 avocado, cut into cubes
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (or mild cheddar)
  • Chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
Instructions:
  • Prepare tortilla strips: Start by ensuring your corn tortillas are somewhat dry. You can achieve this by leaving them out overnight on a rack or by placing them in a 200°F oven for 10 minutes. If they are too dry, soften them in the microwave for 30 seconds. Slice the tortillas into 1/4-inch wide strips and cut the longer strips in half. Heat oil in a thick-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until shimmering hot. In batches, fry the tortilla strips until lightly browned at the edges, about 1 minute. Use tongs to transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Soften the onions: Sauté the chopped onions in the remaining oil over medium-high heat until soft, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Enhance flavor: Stir in garlic, cumin, and minced chipotle in adobo; sauté for an additional 2 minutes.
  • Combine crushed tomatoes, turkey (or chicken) stock, and salt in the pot. Bring the mixture to a high simmer, then reduce the heat and gently simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Incorporate shredded turkey: Add the shredded turkey and cook until it is just heated through for about a minute or two.
  • To present: Distribute half of the crispy tortilla strips into separate serving bowls. Ladle the soup over the top. Garnish with diced avocado, shredded cheese, the rest of the tortilla strips, and fresh cilantro. Accompany with lime wedges. Enjoy the dish? Share your feedback and rate the recipe!
