Instructions

  1. 1 Gather all ingredients.
  2. 2 Soak ancho chilies in a large bowl of warm water until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  3. 3 Whisk beaten eggs and shrimp powder together in a medium bowl until well combined.
  4. 4 Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat; pour egg mixture into small 2-inch circles in hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer fried egg patties to a plate. Repeat with remaining egg mixture.
  5. 5 Blend ancho chilies, onion, water, and garlic in a blender until smooth. Add more water if needed to make a soup consistency.
  6. 6 Pour mixture into a large pot over medium heat; add chicken bouillon and fried egg patties. Cook and stir until bouillon is dissolved, about 5 minutes.
  7. 7 Add nopales, reduce heat to low, and cook until soup is heated through, about 5 minutes.
  8. 8 Garnish with cilantro to serve.
