    List of Ingredients




    Taxco Miners' Soup from Heidi


    4 corn tortillas
    salt -- to taste
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    1 medium onion -- thinly slivered
    1 small garlic clove -- minced
    1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
    2 canned green chiles -- finely chopped
    15 ounces canned tomato sauce
    2 cups chicken stock
    1 cup water
    1/4 pound monterey jack cheese -- in 1/2-inch cubes
    sour cream -- for garnish (opt.)

    Recipe





    1. Fill a deep, heavy skillet with about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil. Heat oil to 350 to 375 degrees F. Cut tortillas in half, and then into 1/2-inch wide strips. Fry tortilla strips, about a third at a time, until crisp and lightly browned (about 2 minutes). Remove with slotted spoon to paper towels to drain; salt lightly.
    2. In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and saute until soft, but not browned. Mix in garlic and cumin; then add green chiles, tomato sauce, stock, and water. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 10 minutes.
    3. Meanwhile, bake fried tortilla strips in a single layer in a preheated 325 degree F oven 8 to 10 minutes. Place heatproof soup bowls on baking sheet in oven during last 5 minutes.
    4. Remove hot soup bowls to a heatproof tray. Working quickly, divide hot tortilla strips among the bowls. Top with cheese cubes. Ladle hot soup over tortillas and cheese and serve at once.
    5. Spoon in a little sour cream at the table, if desired.
