What Sopa de lima means
Sopa de lima is a Mexican soup or stew name of Spanish origin meaning "lime soup". It is built from Spanish sopa (soup) and lima (the Yucatecan sour lime). It is pronounced SOH-pah deh LEE-mah, and it is most associated with Yucatán.
The lima agria of Yucatán is a distinct citrus, not the limón verde used in the rest of Mexico, and the soup depends on its perfume.
This is a site about what Mexican words mean, so there is no recipe here. For the name itself: Pozole, menudo, birria, caldo. Mexican soup names are blunt and descriptive: menudo means "the small things", the offal that goes in it, and pozole comes from a Nahuatl word for foam, describing how the hominy blooms open as it cooks.
