About Mexican chicken soup

Mexican Chicken Soup is a vibrant and flavorful dish rooted in traditional Mexican cuisine. Typically prepared with tender shredded chicken, aromatic onions, garlic, fresh cilantro, and a medley of vegetables like zucchini, carrots, and tomatoes, it’s simmered in a savory broth seasoned with spices like cumin, chili powder, and oregano. Lime juice and jalapeños often add a zesty kick. Packed with lean protein from the chicken and rich in vitamins and fiber from the vegetables, this soup is a wholesome and hearty option. The addition of healthy fats from avocado and the use of whole-grain tortilla strips for garnishing elevate its nutritional profile. While the dish can be low in calories, moderation is key with toppings like sour cream or cheese to avoid excess fat. Perfect for a comforting meal, Mexican Chicken Soup is both nutritious and delicious, embodying the fresh flavors of its cultural heritage.
