    I must give you credit for your Mexican cooking. I'm Mexican American and I grew up eating this soup. Your recipe is remarkably similar to how my mother made it, and I have to say, thanks for sharing. Sadly she is unable to pass it on to me, but based upon watching her make it, I can use this video to taste it again for the first time in probably 12 years!

    My favorite way to serve this is with a *huge* handful of freshly shredded jack cheese on the bottom of the bowl with the tortilla strips. The hot broth perfectly melts it into this stretchy treasure trove of cheese that you can keep pulling up spoonfuls of as you go.

    I followed this recipe almost exactly (although my veggues were less charred) and it was fantastic! I’ve been craving this for a while but haven’t found a restaurant that sells it so I took matters into my own hands. I used a dried chipotle and dried ancho chilli at the beginning and skipped the chipotle pepper in adobo sauce. My partner is allergic to cayenne so I frequently have to modify recipes from chef john 😂

  • @L.Scott_Music
    @L.Scott_Music 7 месяцев назад +4

    This looks delicious. I sometimes make chicken soup with rice from Costco chicken leftovers. One thing I like to do is place my chunks of chicken in a super hot fry pan to get some browning before I put it into the soup. Very hot and fast is important to not fry out the chicken (yes, even in the soup it can feel and taste dry). This adds yet another level of yum.

      Not weird, you can make it as hearty as you like, almost like a delicious Mexican stew. I sometimes add black beans, roasted corn, or roasted zucchini pieces, or all three. I usually throw in a couple of sprigs of fresh epazote to the stock too.

  • @christopherreed4723
    @christopherreed4723 7 месяцев назад +2

    There's a Mexican restaurant chain called City Salads that serves a sopa de tortilla very like this. I think they reserve all the meat they pull from the chicken for their salad bar, because there isn't any in the soup, but the broth is rich enough you don't notice.
    They serve the bowl of broth with small cups of diced panela cheese and avocado. And of course crispy fried tortilla strips. I'm addicted enough that I've never actually ordered one of their salads.

    This recipe is genius... Homemade stock/ meat is cheaper than buying a supermarket baked chicken and a few quarts of mediocre shelf stock. Only downside is time (6-7 hrs). But takes favor to another level or two. As suggested make the stock a day ahead for super easy soup prep the next day. Well done!
