Sopa de fideo is one of the most traditional soups in Mexico, and is usually part of the midday meal in households and in small family restaurants.

Garnishes make tortilla soup special (and famous)—top each bowl of sopa de tortilla with a combination of crispy tortillas and creamy avocado chunks.

There are as many version of lentil soup as there are days of the year—this Sopa de Lentejas recipe features diced carrots and celery.
