Mexico might have most of its culinary fame for staples like tacos and enchiladas, but did you know that soups are also a crucial part of its food scene?
If you are a soup lover and you are looking to branch out your repertoire to south of the border, be sure to check out these delicious Mexican soups to switch things up.
Pozole
Pozole is a hominy-based soup that is known and loved throughout this Latin American country. Typically complemented with pork shoulder, chile peppers, and spicy seasonings that take its flavor profile over the top, nothing says “home” to millions of Mexican citizens like this beloved dish.
Menudo
If you don’t have a weak stomach and are looking to try something a little bit different, menudo might just be for you. Made with tripe (cow stomach) and hominy, lime, onions, oregano, and red chile peppers are used to give it a kick. This dish is especially renowned for its properties to help people recover from illnesses.
Birria
Not a soup in the traditional sense of the word, birria is more like a stew that can either be eaten on its own or put into corn tortillas. Jalisco was the birthplace of this dish that is now popular throughout Mexico, which combines mutton or goat meat with adobe spices that give it a rich flavor.
