This is not exactly authentic, but
I wanted to add a vegetable to my
tortilla soup, to make it more of a
dinner in a bowl, so I decided to
shave cauliflower, toss the
ricelike pieces with oil and chili
powder, and roast it I loved the
addition of the spicy roasted
cauliflower to each bowl of soup,
along with the tortilla crisps that
I toasted in the microwave rather
than frying You can make this soup
even more substantial by adding
eggs (see the variation that
follows the recipe).
