Tortilla Soup is a hearty and flavorful dish rooted in Mexican cuisine. Traditionally prepared with a base of chicken broth and tomatoes, it is infused with aromatic spices such as cumin, chili powder, and garlic. Key ingredients include shredded chicken, avocado, fresh cilantro, and crispy tortilla strips, often topped with lime juice and a sprinkle of cheese. Packed with lean protein from the chicken, antioxidants from tomatoes, and healthy fats from avocado, this soup can be a nutritious choice. However, depending on preparation, the calorie count may rise if excessive cheese or fried tortilla strips are added. Typically served warm, Tortilla Soup delivers a delightful balance of savory and spicy flavors, making it a comforting yet vibrant dish that celebrates the rich culinary traditions of Mexico.
