This recipe is adapted from the recipe found in some magazine, most probably the one from Food Network (see photo). I have changed the quantities, and changed kale for spinach, as it is hard to find kale in some countries.
This soup feels very rich in taste, it is warming and filling. The lime/coriander combination gives it this familiar delicious flavor of Mexican cuisine, once you start cooking.
