Ingredients:

  • 8 cup broth

Directions:

  1. Tablespoons vegetable oil
  2. Cup diced onion
  3. Cup diced celery
  4. Cup diced carrot
  5. /2 teaspoon cumin seed
  6. /2 teaspoon coriander seed
  7. /2 teaspoon black peppercorns
  8. Garlic cloves, roughly chopped
  9. Cinnamon stick, 2 inches long
  10. Cayenne
  11. Teaspoons salt, or to taste
  12. Cups unsalted turkey or chicken broth
  13. Vegetable oil for frying
  14. Corn tortillas, at least a day old, cut in 1/2-inch strips
  15. To 6 cups cooked turkey meat, shredded
  16. Or 2 firm-ripe avocados
  17. Scallions, chopped
  18. Jalapeños, thinly sliced
  19. Small bunch cilantro, leaves and tender stems, roughly chopped
  20. Lime wedges.
  21. Heat vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed soup pot over medium heat. Add the onion, celery and carrot and let soften, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes.
  22. Toast the cumin, coriander and peppercorns in a small dry skillet over medium-high heat until fragrant, about 1 minute, then grind in a spice mill or mortar. Add the ground spices to the pot, along with the garlic, cinnamon, a pinch of cayenne and salt.
  23. Add the broth and bring to a boil, then reduce to a brisk simmer. Cook for 15 minutes, then taste for salt and adjust. Keep hot, covered, over very low heat.
  24. Pour vegetable oil to a depth of 1/2 inch into a wide skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot and looks wavy, add the tortilla strips and fry until barely colored, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove with tongs and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle lightly with salt. (The oil may be strained and saved for future frying.)
  25. In a medium saucepan, heat the shredded turkey meat with a little of the hot soup. Divide the meat among 4 to 6 soup bowls and add a few slices of avocado to each. Ladle about 1 cup soup into each bowl, then garnish with tortilla strips, scallions, jalapeño slices, chopped cilantro and a generous squeeze of lime juice.
  26. Yield: 4 to 6 large servings.
