Azteca Soup
ANDRÉE
"This is a very popular Mexican soup. It can be served with any other Mexican dish. Just before serving, add tortilla strips and avocado cubes, so the tortillas stay crunchy."

I am a Latina who loves Cilantro, but this soup had a little too much. Otherwise, it was great.

I loved this soup. I do suggest that adding chopped raw onion and bit of lime juice does just the trick. The lime juice is essential when adding chicken. Thanks Andree!
