Mexican Beef, Lime & Tortilla Soup

• 1 Olive oil for cooking
• 1 large onion, diced
• 2 clove garlic, crushed-peeled-chopped
• 1 medium green capsicum, diced
• 500 grams Ground beef
• 2 tsp Ground cumin
• 1 tsp Ground coriander
• 1 tsp Cayenne pepper
• 1/2 tsp Dried oregano
• 3 medium tomatoes, diced
• 6 Soft corn tortillas
• 1 Litre chicken stock
• 1 Juice of 2 lime
• 1/4 cup Fresh chopped coriander
• 1 Sea salt flakes- good pinch
• 1 Cracked black pepper to taste
• 1 Sprinkle of turmeric

1. Heat oil in a large pot and cook onion and garlic until onion is soft and browning.
2. Add Capsicum and mince, cook for another 5 minutes (stirring occasionaly) until beef is slightly browned.
3. Add spices and cook for another minute, stirring all the while.
4. Add dried oregano, tomato and stock- bring to the boil then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
5. While the soup simmers, chop 4 of the tortillas into pieces about 2.5cm squared, then stir into the soup along with lime or lemon juice and a good pinch of sea salt.
6. Simmer for a further 5mins- then stir in fresh chopped coriander.
7. For a nice garnish I sliced up a couple of the tortillas into 5mm strips, sprayed with olive oil, sprinkled with some tumeric and baked on high heat for around 10 mins- turning once.
8. I removed from the oven and layed them on paper towel to let crispy up.
9. Spoon into bowls with crispy turmeric tortilla chips in the centre.
10. Very nice!
