sopa de lima is not all that difficult to make at home.at least you can make it relatively close to authentic.We have found that the recipes in rick bayless's
'authentic Mexican" cook book are at some times very involved to make (mole'for example)but are very very good if all the proper ingredients are available.they also have alternitive ingredient ideas in their book.

Hey forum goddess Denesea, heres an idea.how about a thread/posting area for mex.recipes?i bet we all have some great ones tucked away!!
