Mexican Chorizo Meatball Soup
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 onion chopped
- 1 chile pepper poblano, seeded and chopped
- 15 ounces diced tomatoes
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- freshly ground pepper
- 8 ounces fresh chorizo casings removed
- 1/4 cup tortilla chips finely crushed, plus more chips for serving
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro plus more for topping
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese about 4 ounces
- lime wedges for serving
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and poblano and cook, stirring, until softened, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the tomatoes, garlic and cumin; season with salt and pepper. Cook until the liquid thickens, about 3 minutes. Add 5 cups water. Increase the heat to high and bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to maintain a simmer and cook 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the chorizo, crushed tortilla chips, cilantro and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a small bowl; mix with your hands until just combined. Form into 1-inch meatballs (about 20).
- Add the meatballs to the soup and simmer until just cooked through, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper. Ladle the soup into bowls; top with the cheese and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges and tortilla chips.
