Tortilla Soup with Chicken Broth

This is my version of tortilla soup; unlike many other tortilla soup recipes, this one I present is not made with beef broth, but with chicken.
Ingredients

Servings
  • 15 corn tortillas
  • 3 tomatillos, ripe
  • 1/2 white onions
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 sprigs epazote

  • 250 grams queso fresco, (in cubes)
  • 1 avocado, in cubes

  • Cut the tortillas into strips and fry them in the oil until golden. Drain and set aside.
  • Lightly toast one of the ancho chiles and the pasilla chile in a pan over low heat, remove from heat, remove the seeds, tear them apart, and soak them in warm water for 15 minutes.
  • Blend the toasted chiles with the tomato, garlic, onion, and a little water (just to help the blender).
  • In a saucepan with a tablespoon of hot oil, add the blended and strained mixture.
  • Add the epazote and in about 10 minutes, add the broth and season (salt, pepper, and bouillon). Let it boil for about 15 minutes.
  • Cut the remaining ancho chiles into rings, discarding the seeds and veins, and fry them in oil, strain them, and let them rest for a few minutes.
