Low Carb Mexican Tomatillo Soup
Feeling transported back to Mexico, this restaurant-inspired soup was my first time cooking with tomatillos and it turned out every bit as bright and flavorful as I’d hoped. Served in a hand-painted bowl we brought home from Mexico a few years ago, it felt like the perfect way to enjoy it.
When I got home, I decided to create my own version. I kept the fresh, vibrant flavors that I loved while making it a little lighter and lower in carbs. The tomatillos became one of the stars of the soup, adding a fresh brightness that balances beautifully with the savory broth and vegetables.
I’m really pleased with how this one turned out. It’s light but hearty, bright yet comforting, and finished with fresh lime, cilantro, onion, and a spoonful of salsa for an extra layer of flavor.
I have a feeling those tomatillos will be finding their way into more of my cooking.
