Ingredients

• 1 pound Tomatillos
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves
• 1 piece Jalapeño pepper
• 4 cups Vegetable broth
• 0.5 bunch Cilantro
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 piece Lime
• 1 piece Avocado
• 1 cup Tortilla chips

Directions

Step 1

Remove the husks from the tomatillos, rinse them thoroughly to remove the sticky residue, and cut them in half.

Step 2

Peel and roughly chop the onion. Peel the garlic cloves but leave them whole. Cut the jalapeño in half lengthwise and remove the seeds for a milder heat (optional).

Step 3

Preheat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add tomatillos (cut side down), onion, garlic cloves, and jalapeño. Dry roast for 5-7 minutes until the tomatillos are soft and have some charred spots.

Step 4

In a large soup pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the roasted vegetables to the pot and stir in the ground cumin. Sauté for 2-3 minutes to release the spices' aroma.

Step 5

Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes.

Step 6

Remove the soup from heat and let it cool slightly. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer it in batches to a blender and blend carefully. Return the soup to the pot if using a blender.

Step 7

Chop the cilantro roughly and stir it into the soup. Add salt and black pepper to taste. Squeeze in the juice of one lime and stir to combine.

Step 8

Serve the soup hot in bowls. Top each serving with diced avocado, a handful of crushed tortilla chips, and extra cilantro if desired.
