“Sopita” or “Sopa” is a Mexican-style pasta soup, and although it can technically come in many shapes and forms, you would expect a Sopita to have shelled or thin pasta with a tomato-based flavor.
Imagine spicy and hot soup to warm you up on a cold day. You can even add some rice to the meal to stretch it out for longer.
I’ve picked out some of my favorite soup recipes that scream South America so that you can have the true experience of a Sopita.

Well, the chucks in Group Recipes recipe are the shrimp which are garnished on top. This cold soup is a wonderful appetizer or a hot day’s lunch.
Every time I get a unique recipe, I like to draw you back to tradition. I can’t have my readers forgetting what they were searching for originally!
