I love soup and I love Mexican food, and when I make this Mexican soup, I can enjoy the best of both worlds! This soup is hands down one of my all-time favorite soups. It screams comfort food to me and it can’t be comfort food if it’s not an easy dish to put together.

This soup is easy to make and is the perfect meal for a busy weeknight, especially on a cold night. Where I live, it’s pretty cold at the moment and there is nothing like a hearty, chunky soup to warm me up. But honestly, this soup is wonderful for any time of the year.

This Mexican soup recipe is so simple and easy that you can have dinner on the table for the entire family in no time. There isn’t much to it, it’s just like any one pot meal. Just toss all the ingredients together and let it simmer away.
