Preparation
1
Get Prepped

  • Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
  • Trim the carrot, then quarter lengthways (no need to peel). Chop widthways into small pieces.
  • Roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all).
  • Drain the sweetcorn in a sieve.

2
Start the Soup

  • Place a large pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Once hot, fry the carrot with the Mexican spice mix until fragrant, 2-3 mins.
  • Add the stock, chopped tomatoes, 400ml water and ½ tsp sugar (double both for 4p). 
  • Cover and simmer until the carrot is tender, 15-20 mins.

3
Char the Corn

  • Meanwhile, place a pan over medium-high heat with a knob of butter.
  • Once hot, add the drained sweetcorn and season with salt and pepper.
  • Cook until golden brown, 4-5 mins. 
  • Once charred, remove from the pan and cover to keep warm.

4
Toast the Tortillas

  • Cut half the tortillas (double for 4p) into thin strips. Cut each strip in half widthways.
  • Arrange on a baking tray in a single layer (use two trays if necessary).
  • Bake in the oven until crispy and golden, 6-8 mins.

5
Blend Until Smooth

  • Meanwhile, zest and quarter the lime.
  • Once the soup is cooked, blend until smooth and creamy. 
  • Add the creme fraiche to the soup and mix well to incorporate. 
  • Season to taste with salt, pepper and sugar.

TIP: Add a splash of water if you feel the soup is too thick.

6
Garnish and Serve

  • Divide the soup between bowls.
  • Crumble in the Greek style cheese.
  • Top with buttered corn, lime zest, chopped coriander and tortilla strips.
  • Finish with a squeeze of lime juice.
  • Serve any remaining lime wedges alongside.
