Sopa de lima
Mexican soup
Lime soup is a traditional dish from the Mexican state of Yucatan, which is made of chicken or some other meat such as pork or beef, lime juice and served with tortilla chips.
History
Lime soup is a traditional dish from Yucatan. Traditional Yucatan cuisine has its origins in the Hispanic and Yucatán Mayan culture. The combination of meat from animals brought from Europe, the spices, and cooking methods and preparation of multiple local ingredients, resulted in many dishes such as the lime soup. The lime soup as it is known was first created in 1946 by the master called Katún (means "warrior" in the Mayan language). Today it is considered one of the most representative soups of Yucatan.
Since at least the 1950s, Mexico has been the world's largest producer and exporter of limes.
Ingredients
The taste that characterizes this soup depends on the combination of recipes and ingredients. Its unique flavor is recognized throughout Mexico and the world by the predominance of strong seasonal ingredients. The dish is the result of the isolation from the rest of the country.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Sopa de lima” as mexican soup. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as mexican soup. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 30, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q28155493. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1946.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
