tortilla soup

Spiced tomato bowl

Tortilla soup is a Mexican soup built on a tomato-and-chile broth, typically with shredded chicken, topped with crispy fried tortilla strips.

Garnishes vary but often include avocado, cheese, sour cream, and lime.

It's a staple of Mexican restaurants in the United States: I'll have the tortilla soup and a taco salad.
