Whew it’s been a while! A couple of small dish failures (peanut butter swirl brownies, if you were questioning) developed into a small production rut, which ultimately paved the way to a nasty influenza bug that had me laid up on the sofa for a couple days. I would not state that I’m completely back in the groove, however I’m attempting!
I utilized to actually beat myself up over these unintended breaks. There’s a great deal of masters, authors, inspirational speakers, podcasters, and success hustlers continuously informing us that we need to remain hectic, concentrated on all the jobs, dedicate to a 14-step early morning regimen, multitask like it’s our task since it now 100% certifiably is. If you’re not definitely squashing it (ugh dislike that expression), what are you even making with your life?
Everybody requires rest without regret. Genuine rest that goes deep. Or simply time to do things that aren’t work and efficiency workouts for the sake of it– time to simply be! I turned 34 the other day and I’m still discovering that a clear separation of work/productivity time and just-being-me time is most likely a great concept.
With that, I’ll leave you with this relaxing and smoky shiitake tortilla soup. What’s with me and mushroom dishes recently? See these meatballs and this legendary bolognese. Think it’s simply a Winter season yearning! This is that point in the year where I keep questioning if Spring will ever become truthful. There’s a great deal of variations on tortilla soup and dispute over what specifically made up the initial. All I understand is that I like a great deal of crispy tortilla strips on top of mine, however likewise a lot of them combined into the liquid part of the soup to thicken it up.

Notes
- A couple of drops of liquid smoke would be remarkable in this!
- I truthfully opted for shiitake mushrooms here since they look kinda chicken-like when sliced. Any mushroom you like is great though.
- Homemade stock will provide you the very best lead to this basic soup! I like to simmer mine with the shiitake mushroom stems for an additional flavour increase.

Quick concern: How would you suggest modifying the dish if you do not have a mixer? Ideally I will buy one quickly, however I wish to attempt this dish right now. Any suggestions? Thank you !!
Hello There Emily,
You would need to make a more broth-y variation of the soup since you actually require a mixer to completely grind the tortilla strips into the liquid parts. Cut the quantity of tortilla disrobe by half so that you’re just making them for the garnish. Avoid the mixing action and simply include the tomatoes and ONLY 3 CUPS of broth to the pot after the black beans and corn. Simmer for the defined quantity of time and if the soup appears too thick at that point, include more broth. The outcome will be rather various though! Certainly thinner and more fragile in flavour I would state.
