Aztec soup, also known as tortilla soup, is a traditional recipe from Mexico that reflects the culinary richness of Aztec culture. Originating from pre-Hispanic times, this soup combines native ingredients such as corn, chilies, and tomatoes, which are the fundamental base of many Mexican preparations. In different Latin American countries, this soup may have various names or adaptations; for example, in Guatemala and Honduras, it is known as "tortilla soup" or simply corn soup, while in some parts of Central America, a local touch is added with additional ingredients.
The adopted Aztec soup, as presented in this recipe, is an enriched version that mixes fresh ingredients and seasonings such as lime juice, basil, and avocado, integrating Mediterranean and Latin American flavors, making it a unique culinary journey that honors both its origin and new influences.
