INGREDIENTS: 4 ripe Roma tomatoes cut into quarters 1/2 medium white onion 2 cloves of garlic 1/2 bunch of epazote (or fresh cilantro). 2 or 3 guajillo chile peppers, seeded 1 pinch of ground cumin
1 corn tortilla 1 pinch of oregano 3 cups of veggie broth 4 Tbs of avocado oil Sea salt and pepper to taste
Garnish: 1 avocado, diced Tortilla strips, fried to taste 100 grams of panela cheese or feta cheese, diced (optional) 4 tablespoons of sour cream (optional)
DIRECTIONS: In a sauce pan on medium-heat, add the oil and onion, then stir until slightly brown. Then add garlic and stir. When the garlic is cooked, then add the tomatoes. Let simmer for 7 to 10 minutes, then add 2 cups of veggie broth, the chiles, and the epazote and allow to simmer for 5 minutes more. Next add the tortilla, oregano, and cumin, and stir well.
Allow to boil and then place on low-heat to simmer 10 more minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for about 5 minutes. Then blend, adding salt, pepper and perhaps the additional cup of veggie broth, depending upon the desired texture of the soup you prefer. Remove from the blender and adjust the taste as necessary. Serve with the garnishes on top.
