TRADITIONAL MEXICAN CONCHITA SOUP - SHELL SOUP (Sopa de Conchas)

This Conchita shell soup (Sopa de conchas) is a Mexican classic, let me show you my take on it!

INGREDIENTS:
- 2 cups of medium sized conchita shells
- 2.5 tablespoons of Knorr Granulated Bouillon - Tomato Chicken
- 1/2 cup of Del Fuerte Tomato Sauce
- 4.5 cups of water
- About 3 tablespoons of olive oil
- OPTIONAL: Lime, cooked ground beef

INSTRUCTIONS:
- In a large pot, pour oil and heat to Medium-High
- Pour 2 cups of shells into pot and continuously stir to prevent burning until they turn a golden brown color
- Once you achieve a golden brown color, add in the 4.5 cups of water and the granulated Knorr and tomato sauce. Stir until combined.
- Cover pot and soft boil between 10-12 minutes (medium high heat)
- Turn off heat and move away from heat source to prevent shells from overcooking and getting mushy.
- OPTIONAL: Serve and stir in Lime or Cooked Ground Beef for extra flavor, ENJOY! :)

This actually might make me cry. I'm really hungry right now and seeing a food I loved as a child makes me quite emotional. The memories of my little white spoon forever being stained orange will never be lost

I love this recipe! I add my tomato sauce when the shells are toasted, before the water, for a minute so the sauce roasts into the shells. Then I add quarter an onion cut into 8th quarters while it boils. Fantastic!

My grandma used to make these all the time. I never learned how to make them before she passed away. Can’t wait to make this tomorrow! Thank you

I SWEAR TO GOD!!. You gave easy and great instructions. Been searching easy/simple soups to make and they all have instructions that skip the beginning and go straight to "now add some potatoes or carrots"

My grandma use to make this all the time! Unfortunately she died this past November along with the recipe that she used to make this soup. I had no idea it was a famous Mexican dish, now I am going to try and make this to get a taste of what she used to cook like before she died!

This recipe is so simple yet so delicious. I have made this recipe once before and I let my daughter know that I would be making it tonight and her face lit up. I’m adding corn and ground beef to make it a little more filling and pack her some lunch tomorrow. Thank you so much for sharing!! Can’t wait to have dinner!! 😋

I tried making this and it was great! The only thing I did different was that I used 2 tablespoons of oil instead of 3. It came out great. Thank you!
