DIRECTIONS 

  • Combine all the soup ingredients into a large stockpot. Bring the mixture to a low boil for five minutes, then reduce the heat to medium-low and let the soup simmer for an hour. This allows the flavors to meld together perfectly.

  • Once the soup is ready, garnish with tortilla strips, lime, a dollop of yogurt, a drizzle of Sriracha and a sprinkle of scallions and cilantro for added flavor and texture.
