According to Mexican food authority Diana Kennedy, there are two types of sopa Tarasca, or Tarascan soup, from the state of Michoacán in central Mexico. One is tortilla-based, the other a bean puree. The latter inspired this satisfying pantry-centric soup that can be on the table in under 45 minutes. Fire-roasted tomatoes add a subtle smokiness and the lime juice stirred in at the end adds brightness. Finish the smooth, velvety soup with a garnish or two to add contrasting colors, flavors and textures; see below for suggestions.

Quick, but mid on flavor
This recipe is a little too simple and basic? Came together quick, but lacked on flavor. Even more chili pepper and toppings really didn’t bring this up. Maybe be a little heavier on the seasoning, or maybe try something else.
