Chop 3 tomatoes and add them to the blender.

Add 1 teaspoon of garlic and 1/4 of an onion to the blender.

Add 3/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of chickenless seasoning, 1/4 teaspoon of garlic salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of cumin to the blender.

Blend all ingredients together until smooth.

In a pan, heat 1/4 cup of olive oil over medium heat.

Add 1/4 cup of shells to the pan and fry until they start to turn white and crisp, being careful not to burn them.

Once the shells are ready, pour the blended soup base into the pan with the shells.

Let the soup simmer for about an hour to allow the shells to absorb the flavors and expand.

Add lime juice and hot sauce to taste before serving.
