Doritos Consommé: The Surprising Recipe (WATCH) | HuffPost Life

Gross or good? We'll let you decide.

|

If you happen to be a foodie who can't get enough of cheesy snacks, we found the perfect recipe for you: Doritos consommé.

Consommé, or a soup that is clarified and strained of fats, is usually made with chicken or beef. But as Four Kitchens author Lauren Shockey explains, it can be made with "just about anything," such as tomatoes, prosciutto, or, you know, chips dusted with artificial nacho cheese.

The recipe involves boiling Doritos, "like you're making a Dorito tea," then freezing the mixture to create a "Dorito ice," which is then melted and strained. The outcome looks suspect, but Shockey insists that her recipe has a "Southwestern kick" and is the perfect addition to her shrimp, corn and cilantro soup.

8 Great Soup Recipes To Keep You Warm

Spiced Coconut Lentil Soup Recipe(01 of08)

Coconut milk adds creaminess to this beautiful soup. Although ‘spiced,’ this dish is not particularly spicy – even with the added chili and paprika. The spice is very mild and subtle but absolutely essential in helping the soup burst with the incredible flavor. Recipe: Spiced Coconut Lentil Soup

Broccolini Spring Onion Soup(02 of08)

Broccolini makes a great partner with scallions — also known as spring onions — for a soup that is vibrant green in color and loaded with nutrients.Recipe: Broccolini Spring Onion Soup

Carrot Ginger Soup with Star Anise Recipe(03 of08)

Let's face it: Carrots aren't usually exciting. They're bland as a side dish and often relegated to being third-tier ingredients in salads; at best, they’re used for healthy juices. But carrots can make a great base for a refreshing, healthy soup. Paired here with star anise, carrots are surprisingly convincing in a starring role.Recipe: Carrot Ginger Soup with Star Anise

Portuguese Fish Stew Recipe(04 of08)

The Portuguese had it right: Their fish stew features sustainable seafood, delicious spicy chorizo sausage, and potatoes and cabbage to add heft and texture. Best of all, the ingredients are affordable, so this stew, while not technically a soup, is a great bargain that’ll fill you up and keep you warm.Recipe: Portuguese Fish Stew

French Onion Soup Recipe(05 of08)

We don't know why the combination of beef broth, caramelized onions, croutons and crispy melted gruyère is so addictive, but it is! This simple recipe for a beloved French dish takes a little extra effort but pays off big time on a chilly night.Recipe: French Onion Soup

Vineyard Clam Chowder Recipe(06 of08)

This brilliant clam chowder isn’t for the novice cook; it’s a recipe from Martha’s Vineyard, and it calls for chopped clams that have to be incorporated properly. For those with the confidence to pull it off, this creamy, chewy delight is truly a chowder to remember. Recipe: Vineyard Clam Chowder

Chicken Tortilla Soup Recipe(07 of08)

This might be the easiest of the bunch, and the tastiest. The combination of chicken, chili and tortillas will call to mind a chicken taco, only in soup form. You can adjust the spice to taste, and as comfort food go, this soup is like laying your head on a soft pillow.Recipe: Chicken Tortilla Soup

Bak Kut Te Recipe(08 of08)

Bak Kut Teh literally means Pork Bone Tea soup and is a Chinese soup dish believed to be introduced into Malaysia in the 19th century by Chinese workers. The broth is infused with spices such as cinnamon and the soup is loaded with pork ribs, dried Shiitake mushrooms, tofu and garlic, so it fills the kitchen with evocative scents that start the warming process before your first spoonful.
