Instructions
Chicken Tortilla Soup
In a blender or food processor, blend 1 can white beans plus their liquid until smooth. Alternatively, in a medium bowl, mash white beans with a potato masher or large spoon until smooth.- In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium heat, heat oil. Add onion and cook, stirring, until softened, about 7 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Add garlic, cumin, paprika, and chili powder and cook, stirring and adding more chili powder if needed, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Add reserved pureed beans, black beans, broth, and remaining 1 can white beans and their liquid. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened and flavors have melded, about 20 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix masa harina and 2 tablespoons water until combined; stir into soup. Add chicken and corn; cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 10 minutes. Stir in sour cream and lime juice; season with salt and pepper, if needed.
Tortilla Strips & Assembly
Preheat oven to 400°. In a small bowl, toss tortilla strips with oil, adding a little more oil if needed, until well coated. Spread on a baking sheet.- Bake strips, checking at the 7-minute mark, until crispy, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Ladle soup into bowls. Top with tortilla strips, cilantro, avocado, and cheddar (if using). Serve with lime wedges alongside (if using).
