Mexican Vegetable Soup with Lime and Avocado

Mexican Vegetable Soup with Lime and Avocado

This is one of our favorite vegetable soup recipes. Ready in under 30 minutes, the flavors taste fresh and light. Mexican Vegetable Soup with Lime and Avocado is excellent any weeknight and you can customize it to whatever vegetables you have on hand or what’s in season. But be sure to add the lime for a nice bright tang and the avocadoes add a creaminess that the whole family will love.

Great with a hearty loaf of bread or pair it with a huge salad. Versatile enough, you could also add shredded cooked chicken.

    I love this recipe! I have made it many. MANY times! I use fire roasted diced tomatoes and I use more hominy than it calls for. Serve this with some chips and chipotle salsa for an AMZING meal! Par with a Paloma and you are all set!!!!

    This was a delicious soup. My husband is doing “Whole 30” and so I left the hominy out. I added some chunks of browned ground round so he could get some protein, fresh oregano (since I have it in the garden) instead of dried and put in some cilantro to cook as well as adding as a garnish. We both loved the soup.

    I noticed that the picture for this soup has potato in it, but the recipe doesn’t call for any. Did you add any potato or not??

      Hi Amanda, thanks for catching that. I forgot that I did add a potato for the time that I photographed the soup. And it is definitely tasty with it added. I just updated the recipe to reflect the addition.

    Brilliant recipe. I substituted hominy for some beans and such to make it into a complete protein rich meal. Definitely will be cooking this again.

    Thanks so much!!

      Sebastian, thank you for trying it. My husband is not a huge bean fan so I think I’ll make it your way next time.
