Pro Tips for the Perfect Salsa Verde Steak Soup

  1. Choose the Right Steak: Flank steak or sirloin works beautifully for tender bites that hold up in soup.
  2. Layer Flavors Early: Sautéing the onions, peppers, and garlic before simmering builds a deeper base flavor.
  3. Use Quality Salsa Verde: A good salsa verde—whether homemade or store-bought—defines the soup’s brightness and tang.
  4. Toppings Matter: Load up on avocado, sour cream, cilantro, or crunchy tortilla chips to add texture and creaminess.
  5. Adjust the Spice: If you prefer extra heat, add diced jalapeños or use a spicier salsa verde.
