Using my super tasty Ancho Broth Mix, I created three Ancho Soup recipes.
- Ancho Avocado Soup
- Ancho Black Bean Soup
- Ancho Tomato Soup
And these recipes have a lot going for them. Besides being very tasty, they’re also easy to make. No long simmer times needed. Just combine the ingredients in a bowl, stir, heat, and serve.
ANCHO AVOCADO SOUP
INGREDIENTS
- 2/3 CUP WATER
- 1/3 CUP AVOCADO PULP OR MASH
- 1/3 CUP MILK OF CHOICE
- 2 TEASPOONS ANCHO BROTH MIX
- 1 TEASPOON MINCED CILANTRO
- SALT OF CHOICE, TO TASTE
*To achieve a good consistency, I mix the Avocado pulp with just the milk first. This helps loosen up the pulp. Heating up the milk helps…so does a quick turn in a mini-blender.
*To help thicken, I like to add either dry instant mashed potatoes or prepared mashed cauliflower.
ANCHO BLACK BEAN SOUP
INGREDIENTS
- 2/3 CUP WATER
- 1/3 CUP CANNED BLACK BEANS
- 1/3 CUP MILK OF CHOICE
- 2 TEASPOONS ANCHO BROTH MIX
- 1 TEASPOON MINCED CILANTRO
- SALT OF CHOICE, TO TASTE
*To achieve a good consistency, I mash up the black beans with just the milk first. This helps loosen up the beans. Heating up the milk helps…so does a quick turn in a mini-blender.
ANCHO TOMATO SOUP
INGREDIENTS
- 2/3 CUP WATER
- 1/3 CUP TOMATO SAUCE
- 1/3 CUP MILK OF CHOICE
- 2 TEASPOONS ANCHO BROTH MIX
- 1 TEASPOON MINCED CILANTRO
- SALT OF CHOICE, TO TASTE
Inspired by Tortilla Soup
*To help thicken, I like to add either dry instant mashed potatoes or prepared mashed cauliflower. I sometimes use my mini-blender to help combine everything.
These recipes yield roughly 1 and 1/3 cups of liquid soup, leaving lots of room in a 4-cup bowl for additional proteins, vegetables, and noodles.
My additions are usually Konjac Noodles, as well as pre-cooked frozen proteins, like Meatballs.
My milk of choice is Coconut Milk and, if needed, I opt for Miso in lieu of salt.
Feel free to tweak the recipe to your tastes and enjoy whatever additions you want.
I created this recipe to solve my soup issues. Containing anti-inflammatory foods, these soups are part of my beneficial diet. Those anti-inflammatory foods being Avocados, Black Beans, Tomatoes, and the ingredients in the Broth Mix.
The Broth Mix, Avocado Pulp, and Black Beans are also handy cooking shortcuts.
I love these soups and I hope you do too. Feel free to check out my other recipes.
Happy Cooking, Happy Living.
