For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken stock. Adjust the amount of serrano pepper to your spice preference. If you can't find Cotija cheese, substitute with Parmesan or crumbled feta. For a heartier soup, add shredded cooked chicken or vegetables such as corn or zucchini during the last 10 minutes of cooking.

01
StepIn a blender, combine 1/2 cup chicken stock, tomatoes, onion, serrano chile, and garlic. Blend until completely smooth. (2 minutes)

StepStrain the tomato mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. Discard the solids and reserve the strained sauce. (5 minutes)
03
