I am trying to make a copy of Campbell's Nacho Fiesta soup, but i want to use fresh ingredients. I can't get the flavor though, so does anyone know what the soup is made out of?? Please help!!:confused:

Hi there :)

I'm not quite sure if you'll be able to duplicate the exact taste of the Cambell's soup recipe. But there are a good number of recipes out there for tortilla soup. Try some cookbooks and foodnetwork for starters. I also think there may be one in Rick Bayless's cookbook.

But I the flavors are all built upon a good chicken stock.

g'day,
dan

Enjoy the Food!

Not sure what campbells tastes like but we sell a buttload each week.
We simmer chicken to make stock but take it till the meat can be pulled. We simmer all our mexican spices in peeled chopped tomatoes, untill puree. We then mix those two to create our base. We add fresh roasted corn, cut from the cob, onions etc. We are fortunate to be able to get fresh tortilla dough and we roll those thick and make sort of dumplings. Garniches on the side.

The one we make is a chicken stock, a little shredded chicken, some tortilla pieces, crunchy or day old are better, and a squeeze of lime to finish. Yucatan style. We go through about a quarter buttload when we make it.
