Derby City Cafe-style Mexican Tortilla Soup Recipe

Ingredients:

6 Tbsp olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 medium zucchinis, sliced
4 cups chicken broth
2 (16 oz.) cans stewed tomatoes
2 (15 oz.) cans tomato sauce
2 (15 oz.) cans whole kernel corn, undrained
4 teaspoons ground cumin
2 tsp black pepper
Tortilla chips
Grated Cheddar cheese, to taste

Preparation:

Warm olive oil in a large pot set over medium-high heat (warm the pot first to prevent scorching the oil).

When oil begins to shimmer, add onion and garlic; cook until onion pieces are browned and soft. Add zucchini, chicken broth, stewed tomatoes, tomato sauce, corn, cumin and black pepper.

Cover pot and bring to a boil; reduce heat and let simmer, covered, for 30 minutes (stirring occasionally).

Spoon soup into bowls; top each bowl with tortilla chips and Cheddar cheese.

Makes: 5 quarts
