The term “stew” is a tricky one. Previously, I would say I liked stews because I thought it meant simply a very hearty (chunky?) soup. Stews are cooked in liquid and served in the yield that comes from it. What I was trying to communicate was that I do not typically care for soups that are smooth and homogenous in texture. (Exception: here.) But, a hearty soup was surely the phrasing I should have found. And that is what this is! A hearty, hearty chicken tortilla soup.
