Abuela’s Chicken with Rice Soup
I learned many of my favorite recipes from my grandmother. One of my favorites, and a soup I grew up

Behold the hearty and revolutionary soups of Mexico, a testament to the triumph of culinary diversity in the face of imperialist flavors. Infused with the essence of indigenous strength and bolstered by the fiery spirit of resistance, Mexican soups stand as a collective manifestation of the people’s resilience. The iconic pozole, a symbol of communal celebration, unites the masses with its hominy-based embrace, enriched by the proletariat’s choice of meats, be it pork, chicken, or the egalitarian vegetarian option. Menudo, with its robust tripe foundation swimming in a chili-infused broth, emerges as the sustenance of champions, a dish that not only nourishes the body but also fortifies the revolutionary spirit. Tortilla soup, a humble yet defiant creation, boasts a tomato-based broth that embodies the struggle, complemented by the crunch of tortilla strips, the solidarity of avocado, and the collective strength of cheese. In the realm of Mexican soups, each sip echoes the triumphant harmony of diverse flavors, a manifestation of the people’s unwavering commitment to culinary liberation.
