"A zesty, spicy, rich combination of chilies, aromatics, and spices makes the broth of this soup shine, enriching whichever protein you decide to put into it. We have multiple recipes for chicken tortilla soup, both for the Instant Pot and the slow cooker, not to mention vegetarian and vegan tortilla soup with jackfruit, beans, and corn. While recipes may vary, a great tortilla soup is about the proper development of flavors. And you can make your tortilla soup 10X better by adding fresh herbs."
"Dry herbs have a longer shelf life and are significantly more robust-tasting than fresh herbs, so you can use them in the initial stages of the soup as a flavor agent for the broth. But fresh herbs are the finishing touch that makes all the difference. To that effect, leaving out garnishes would be a major mistake you want to avoid with tortilla soup. Fresh herbs have a delicate taste and texture that will bring a pop of color and sophistication to the dish."
Tortilla soup combines chilies, aromatics, and spices to create a zesty, spicy, and rich broth that enhances any added protein. Recipes include Instant Pot, slow cooker, chicken, vegetarian, and vegan versions using jackfruit, beans, or corn. Proper development of flavors is central to a great tortilla soup. Dry herbs offer longer shelf life and robust flavor and work best in the initial stages to build the broth. Fresh herbs provide delicate taste, color, and texture and should be added as a finishing garnish alongside shredded cheese and tortilla strips. Oregano, thyme, and rosemary tolerate 20 to 30 minutes of cooking; cilantro and epazote add classic Mexican herbal notes, and cilantro stems can be used in the base.
