Nutrition: per serving
Fry 4 tbsp of sofrito mixture in 2 tbsp of olive oil until soft.
Add the bay leaf, plum tomatoes and 400ml of chicken stock, then bring to a simmer.
Cook for 30 mins, then remove and discard the bay leaf and whizz with a hand blender. Season.
To serve, put ½ tsp of salsa macha, 1 tbsp of mascarpone or soft cheese and some coriander leaves into the base of four small bowls or cups.
Reheat the soup and pour it carefully into each bowl. Add a few more coriander leaves, some crushed tortilla chips and more salsa macha. Serve with more tortilla chips and some bread, if you like.
