Tortilla soup (Spanish: sopa de tortilla) is a traditional Mexican soup containing fried corn tortilla.[1] Although the exact origin of tortilla soup is unknown, it is known that it comes from the Mexico City area in Mexico. Traditional tortilla soup is made with chicken broth combined with roasted tomatoes, onion, garlic, chiles and tortillas, cut into strips and fried. [2]

Regional variants
Traditional / "Sopa Azteca"
Traditional tortilla soup is made of fried corn tortilla pieces,[1] submerged into a broth of tomato, garlic, onion, and epazote. It is served with pieces of pasilla chiles, chicharrón, avocado, queso panela, lime, and Mexican crema. While pasilla chiles are the most commonly used, regional variants also may use chile ancho or chile de arbol.[3]
Tex-Mex
Sharing many similarities with traditional tortilla soup, Tex-Mex tortilla soup substitutes many of the traditional ingredients, and opts for a broth that has been thickened with a tomato base and ground tortillas. The fried tortilla is often replaced with tortilla chips, and sour cream is used in place of crema. The soup also often includes the addition of black beans and corn. [4]
A taco soup is a variety that is inspired by Tex-Mex tacos and may include ground beef or beans, tomatoes, chopped green chilis, onions, corn, beans and taco seasoning, topped with cheese, sour cream, raw onions, avocado, or tortilla chips.
