Chilly evenings call for a comforting soup with a bit of restorative kick and plenty of vibrant toppings.
Top with tortilla chips, or make your own crispy tortilla strips as shown: Cut 4 (6-inch) corn tortillas into 1 ⁄ 2-inch strips and bake at 375°F for 10 minutes. Crush half the strips for the soup and garnish with the rest. Make these ahead and store in a ziplock bag at room temperature for a day or two. Poblano peppers range in heat; add cooling avocado or crushed red pepper as needed.
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 1 ⁄ 2 cups chopped yellow onion
1 cup chopped carrot
1 poblano pepper, finely chopped
