Me and the family ate at the San Angel Inn, Mexico. I asked for the recipe for the Tortilla soup and left it on the table. Does anyone have this recipe???

Here is the recipe I got a few years ago:
Sopa Azteca
San Angel Inn/Mexico/Epcot

Ingredients
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/3 cup chopped onion
1 1/3 cup peeled, seeded, chopped tomatoes
4 tablespoons sour cream
1/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh epazote
2 chili peppers
4 soft corn tortillas
1/2 medium ripened avocado, cubed
1 teaspoon garlic
1 quart chicken broth


Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large sauce pot.
Saute onion, tomatoes and garlic until onion is transparent. Add chicken broth and epazote. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
Remove seeds and stems from chili peppers and cut each in two pieces lengthwise. Cut tortillas in 1/3 inch strips. Heat remaining tablespoon oil in a skillet and fry peppers for five seconds. Remove to a paper towel and fry tortilla strips until golden brown. Drain on paper towel.
Divide chili peppers, tortilla strips and avocado cubes between 4 heavy ceramic or clay soup bowls. Pour the hot chicken broth into bowls. Garnish each with a spoonful of sour cream and Monterey Jack cheese.

PS- I never could find "epazote" which is also called "Mexican tea" but I made it without it and still thought it tasted really good. (I didn't look very hard )

Thanks for your help Linda in Jersey!! I'll give it a try without the epazote. Stay warm & think spring. Rose/Cleveland

You're welcome!

Sounds like this is going to be a great "stay home and eat soup" weekend!
Lots of snow on the way.
Everybody get out there and do your blizzard shopping!!

I'll try this. I like the different versions of tortilla soup.
Especially when we are getting this cold snowy / rainy / icy weather in NC.
