Chileatole verde

Chileatole verde is a traditional soup originating from Puebla, but it's also popular in Oaxaca, Morelos, Veracruz, and Tlaxcala. It's basically a combination of broth, chili peppers, and fresh masa for thickening. The ingredients include chicken broth, green chili peppers, coriander, epazote leaves, garlic, roasted onions, and masa harina. The garlic and onions are roasted, then blended with the chili peppers, epazote, broth, and salt. Masa harina is then added to the soup, which is simmered until it develops a thick consistency. Once done, chilatole verde is typically garnished with chicharrones, queso fresco, avocado slices, or tortilla strips before it's served. If desired, lime juice and chicken pieces can also be added to the soup in order to make it even richer.
