An easy twist on the traditional Yucatan classic “Sopa de Lima”, our lime soup recipe features spinach as the main ingredient. The earthy bitterness of spinach is accented by bright hints of lime in this light, yet filling soup. A bit of heat and smoky cumin round out the surprisingly rich flavors in this very easy to make soup. Serve it in a large bowl with a slice of crusty bread or topped with a sprinkle of Cotija cheese as a light supper any time of the week.
