Tips:

  • If you don't have any fresh cilantro, you can use 1/4 cup of dried cilantro. Just be sure to add it at the end of the cooking time so that it doesn't lose its flavor.
  • If you like your soup spicy, add a diced jalapeño pepper or a pinch of cayenne pepper. You can also add a squeeze of lime juice for extra acidity.
  • Serve the soup with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt, some chopped avocado, and a sprinkle of cotija cheese. You can also add some tortilla chips or crumbled cornbread for a more filling meal.
