Nacho Soup

Cultural Context

Nacho Soup has its roots in the Tex-Mex cuisine of the Southwestern United States, where nachos originated as a snack in the 1940s. This dish transforms the classic nacho experience into a warm, comforting soup, making it a popular choice for gatherings and game days. Today, variations abound, with many adding different proteins or toppings, reflecting the dish's adaptability and widespread appeal.

3

Sprinkle in cumin, coriander, Mexican oregano, cayenne pepper, and chili powder, then sweat the mixture with a lid on.

Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of flour over the mixture to create a roux without cooking it out.

5

Pour in about 3 cups of bone broth, stirring to combine and thicken.

Add 1 can of drained fire-roasted diced tomatoes, drained black beans, and fire-roasted corn.

7

Let the mixture bubble and thicken before adding the cheeses.
