Sedona White Corn Tortilla Soup

This is a great Southwestern soup from the California Pizza Kitchen chain. The restaurant serves it solo or alongside a potato-leek soup. The many spices keep this soup low in calories, but high on flavor. If you want to reduce the fat content, you can use less oil for frying the tortillas.

Courses: Soup
Serves: 6 people

Recipe Ingredients

3 tablespoons 45mlOlive oil
1 1/2   Seven-inch corn tortillas - cut in 1" pieces
1 1/2 tablespoons 22mlMinced garlic
2 tablespoons 30mlMinced white onions
1 1/2 teaspoons 7.5mlMinced jalapeño chili pepper
16 oz 454gWhite corn kernels
1 1/2 lbs 681g / 24ozTomato - chopped
1/3 cup 78mlTomato paste
2 1/2 teaspoons 12mlCumin
1 tablespoon 15mlSalt
1/8 teaspoon 0.6mlFreshly-ground white pepper
1/2 teaspoon 2.5mlChili powder
1   Chicken stock

Recipe Instructions

Over medium high heat, fry the tortilla squares in olive oil until they begin to crisp and turn a golden yellow. Add garlic, onion, and jalapeño, cook 1 to 2 minutes, until onion is translucent.

Add half the corn, and the rest of the other ingredients (tomatoes thru chicken stock), reserving half the corn to be added at the end. Bring the soup to a low, even boil. Remove soup from heat.

Use a hand held propeller blade processor, or a food processor, or a blender to puree the soup in batches. Return the soup to the burner and add the reserved corn. Bring the soup to a boil once again, being extremely careful to avoid scorching or burning.

Serve, if desired garnish with tortilla chips, cheddar cheese, and cilantro.

This recipe yields 6 servings.
