Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Vegetable oil
1/2 cup small, dry tubular or shell-shaped pasta, such as penne or conchiglie, optional
4 scallions, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon salt, or as needed
1 teaspoon adobo powder
2 large all-purpose potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 2-ounce piece of queso blanco, grated
1 large Anaheim pepper, stemmed, seeded and cut into 1-inch pieces
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup whole milk, or as needed
1/3 cup cooked white rice, optional

Steps:

  • If desired, place 1/2 inch vegetable oil in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. When oil is hot, add pasta and fry until lightly browned. Remove immediately and drain on paper towels. Set aside pan with oil in it.
  • Place a medium (5- to 6-quart) soup pot over medium-low heat, and add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Add scallions and sauté until softened, about 30 seconds. Add salt, adobo powder, potatoes, queso blanco and fried pasta, if using. Add just enough water to cover. Cover and simmer until potatoes and pasta are tender, about 15 minutes.
  • While soup is cooking, place a small skillet over medium heat, and add 1 tablespoon oil. Add Anaheim pepper and sauté until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add eggs and cook until firm, another 1 to 2 minutes. Remove omelet from pan and cut into 1-inch-wide slices.
  • When potatoes are tender, add milk, omelet slices and, if desired, rice, to pot. Simmer gently until reheated, and serve hot.

I'm not usually a fan of egg drop soup, but this recipe changed my mind. The eggs are cooked perfectly and the broth is so flavorful. I also love the addition of the tortilla strips. They add a nice crunch and texture to the soup.
