Prepare an original and rare soup from Mexico, with a delicious combination of mallow and zucchini flower. Mallow is a plant with many health benefits and also has an excellent flavor. Dare to try new flavors and give an unexpected twist to your meal.
Clean the mallow, keeping only the leaves, no stems. Rinse under running water and then disinfect for 10-15 minutes. Chop them into moderate size; set aside.
Clean the zucchini flowers by removing the pistils, sepals, and the fibers from the stems; wash them and set them to disinfect in another container. Chop them into moderate size and set aside.
Wash the zucchinis and chop them into medium cubes, set aside.
Wash and chop the tomatoes into medium cubes, set aside.
Finely chop the garlic and onion; set aside.
In a saucepan, heat the olive oil; sauté the onion and garlic. When they are translucent, add the mallow, zucchini flower, and chopped zucchini; cook over medium heat and season with salt and pepper. Let them soften, covering with a lid to release their juices and aid in cooking (10 - 15 minutes).
Add the tomato, mix, and wait for it to season; add room temperature chicken broth; add salt and pepper again if necessary. Let it simmer over low heat.
Add a little epazote and finely chopped serrano chili.
Once it boils, remove from heat and serve.
Add cubed panela or ranchero cheese.
