Chicken, Tortilla and Lime Soup
In this classic soup, called sopa de lima, from Mexico's Yucatan region, the chicken is not cooked directly in the soup broth because it will make it cloudy. Be careful not to add too much chili or the soup may be too fiery for comfort. You want to maintain a good balance between the tartness of the lime and the heat of the chilies. One large avocado, halved, pitted, peeled and diced, makes a soothing garnish to the spicy broth. Although it's not authentic, 1 cup corn kernels may be added to the soup with the tomatoes.

I work so for a quick fix I buy a rotisserie chicken at the market. This is easy, quick and delicious.

A nice change from regular chicken noodle soup!
August 27, 2011
I like this recipe because the tortilla strips are used as a garnish rather than an ingredient cooked in with the broth, which keeps the soup a lot lighter and healththere also, there are very few ingredients required to make this soup and it doesn’t take a whole lot of time to cook—so it’s cheap and fast!
It provides the comfort of traditional chicken noodle soup, but the jalapeno pepper adds a nice unique twist. If you don’t feel like making the homemade tortilla strips, then serve this soup over rice…or do both, as I did! When serving, I like to garnish my soup with the tortilla crisps, cubed avocado, and chopped cilantro.
NOTES: I suggest using a pizza cutter to cut the tortilla strips because it easy to get them straight and precise. Also make sure the oil is good and hot before you start frying, or the strips will be soggy.
Pros: Quick, Easy, Healthy, Will Make Again

Wonderful combination of flavors!
May 2, 2010
This soup was very good. Great flavor and texture; but very labor intensive and time consuming. For that reason I probably won't be making it again; but would recommend it to anyone who has ample time to prepare it. Thanks for the recipe!
