What is Sopa de Lima?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Akin to tortilla soup, Sopa de Lima (Lime Soup) is a culinary specialty of Yucat\u00e1n. It features a slow-simmered broth typically made from turkey or chicken and a vibrant sofrito made with sweet peppers and onion. Fresh lime brings a pleasant touch of acidity to the soup, which you dress at the table with thin strips of fried corn tortillas, plenty of fresh cilantro, chopped chilies, and, occasionally, ripe avocado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
