Directions

In a large pot, heat the avocado oil over medium-high heat.

Add the onion and garlic to the pot, and sautee 2-3 min.

Add the tomato, bell pepper, chilis and jalapeño, and sautee another 2-3 min.

Stir the vegetables and add the cumin, paprika, oregano, clove and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Top off with the beef bone broth and water, and bring to a boil.

Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and let simmer for 1.5 hours, strirring occasionally.

About 30 min before the soup is ready, preheat the oven to 250F.

Brush the coconut wraps (I use the NUCO brand) or low carb tortillas with the olive oil.

Cut the wrap or tortilla into long strips, space out on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Sprinkle the strips with paprika and season to taste with salt, then bake 6-8 min, until golden.

Remove the strips and set aside to cool and crisp up.

Once the soup is ready, remove from the heat and stir in the lime juice.

Serve in a bowl with the garnishes and topped with the crisped wrap or tortilla strips.
