Tomatillo Soup

Prep Time10 minutes
Fridge time2 hours
Course: Soup
Servings: 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 cups salsa verde
  • 2 avocados
  • 1 jalapeno (use as much as you like)
  • 1 thick slice of bread, or more
  • 1 bunch cilantro, thick stems removed
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium orange, juiced (around ½ cup)
  • salt, pepper, cayenne or Tajin seasoning to taste
  • 2 cups water, more or less
  • 2 oz tequila, or to taste (optional)

Instructions

  • Place the salsa verde, avocado, bread, cilantro, orange juice, jalapeno, salt, pepper and olive oil into the bowl of a food processor or blender until it's as smooth as your equipment can manage.
  • Blend or pulse until combined, scraping the sides on occasion. Gradually add about a cup of water to loosen everything up. Pour into a large bowl.
  • Strain some or all of the mix, using more water or orange juice to achieve the desired texture and flavor.
  • Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  • To serve, pour into a bowl or glass and garnish with orange and a dash of Tajin seasoning or cayenne. Offer a float of tequila at the table if desired.

Notes

We added tequila directly to the soup as only adults were consuming it.
For more orange flavor, add the zest, too.
