Caldo Tlalpeño

I really enjoy this soup because not only is healthy and nourishing, but it is also great for the cold weather. This is what I call comfort Mexican food!
|

‘Caldo tlalpeño’ is a tasty traditional Mexican soup🇲🇽 prepared with chicken broth, tomato, chipotle, and shredded chicken.

This soup is served with avocado🥑, cheese🧀, and Mexican cream, although there are many variants depending on where in México you are.

It is said that it is originally from Tlalpan, in the south of México City, but there are those who attribute it to the town of Talpa de Allende, in Jalisco.
One of those things we may never know🤔, but I’m certain that this soup is very popular where I’m from in México.

The ideal comfort food for cold days or sleepless nights😁
