(Shhh. Listen closely.) Garnish it with the toppings of your choice: We like avocado, sour cream, and chopped white onion, but you can add shredded cheese, pickled or fresh jalapeños, and/or sliced scallions or radishes. You can use any tortilla chips you like—they add body and flavor to the soup itself and go on top for extra oomph. You could also fry or bake your own stale tortillas, cut into strips, but, if we're being honest, salty, crunchy Fritos will probably taste better.]( [fritos]( [When It Comes to This Snack, Store-Bought Is Better Than Homemade]( ["I recently tried to make snack food at home," says senior editor Sarah Jampel. "I cut stale tortillas into thin strips, heated an inch of oil in a high-sided skillet, cooked them until deep golden-brown, then fished them out and gave them a generous salt shower. As I submerged one handful into a bowl of bean soup then crumbled an even larger portion on top, I anticipated the chips’ salty snap. But instead, they were bland and quick-to-sog, which left me wondering, 'Why hadn’t I just bought a bag of Fritos in the first place?' Fritos, I realized, had been the goal all along."]( Warm Bowls of Soups and Stews: [Okra Gumbo]( [Ham Hock and White Bean Stew]( [Warm-Spiced Saucy Lamb Stew]( [Image may contain: Food, Dish, Meal, Bowl, and Soup Bowl]( [Brothy Beans With Kimchi and Squash]( [Smoky Green Chicken Pozole]( [Slow-Cooked Chicken Stew with Kale]( [MORE FROM BON APPÉTIT]( Follow Us [Facebook]( [Twitter]( [Instagram]( [Pinterest]( This e-mail was sent to you by Bon Appétit.
