FAQS

  • Mash ingredients already in the soup, such as beans or potatoes.
  • Cornstarch slurry. In a separate bowl, add 1 tablespoon of cold water and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Mix until smooth, then pour it into the soup. Stir and simmer. 
  • Flour roux. Scoop out ½ cup of the hot soup and place it into a bowl. Add 2-3 tablespoons of flour, and stir until smooth. Pour it into the soup, and simmer. 
  • Creamy texture. A creamy soup can be made even creamier by adding more cream, cheese, pureed vegetables, a scoop of nut butter, or cream cheese.
  • Add in cayenne pepper, black pepper, chili powder/flakes, or hot sauce. 
  • Since the level of spice is a personal preference, you can make a mild soup and provide the seasonings for people to add to their bowls.
  • If the soup turns out a bit too spicy for your liking you can add dairy such as milk, sour cream, or yogurt. Sweeten it with honey or brown sugar. Add starch like rice or potatoes.
  • Corn tortillas or flour tortillas are served with almost every meal and can help tame the signature spiciness of Mexican dishes.
  • Fresh herbs can add a bright layer of flavor to the soup. 1 teaspoon of dried herbs is equal to 1 tablespoon of fresh herbs. If using a slow cooker, fresh herbs should be added during the last 30 minutes of cooking time. Lime juice is another way to brighten your pot of soup.
  • Try tortilla strips or crushed tortilla chips, shredded cheese, fresh cilantro, green onions, sour cream, lime wedge, or sliced avocado.
  • The protein in soup can be eliminated, added, or replaced. Common soup proteins include shredded or ground beef, chicken, turkey, pork, and beans (pinto beans, black beans, etc). 
  • Each post will have specific instructions on how to store the soup, but in general, you can store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container(s) for about 3 days. Reheat the soup in the microwave or stovetop.
