IntroductionSkip To The Recipe
Aztec soup.
Quick trip to the store and here we are in my kitchen Margaritas on hand, after all we are cooking a Mexican dish, starting to cut, broil and blend to make this very refined Aztec Soup.
It was so much fun talking and catching up, laughing, dancing, yes dancing in the kitchen, as the aromas of the roasted Pasilla chilies in our soup were surrounding us.
We also had fun taking almost a step by step photo session and could not resist to share it with all of you.
TIP:Â We both do enjoy a thicker soup therefore did not use as much chicken stock as the original recipe required. Adjust as you wish the consistency to be. If you have a Vitamix blender, use the puree setting. If not strain the soup if chunks are not broken down.
