Mexican cuisine is known as a world famous dish, alongside French cuisine and Chinese cuisine. This is due to the richness of her diverse geographical environment: the rich seafood of the Central Gulf of Mexico, the fruits and vegetables of the southern rainforest, and the robust cattle and sheep of the northern mountains, accompanied by a variety of special sauces, making Mexican cuisine one of the most coveted delicacies.
Mexican cuisine is brightly coloured and freshly sourced. The selection of high-quality meat or seafood, with a variety of fresh vegetables, is tender and colorful. Today Xiaobian will bring you a soup dish, which is also a kind of ink meal that I often eat in the years I lived in Mexico.
Pozole Chicken Corn Red and White Soup is a corn broth with a strange flavor. Looking at the few corn kernels and a few diced meats floating on this clear soup is not very impressive, but the elaborate chicken soup takes 10 hours to prepare.
The reason why it is called chicken red and white soup is because there is also a chicken shredded red soup, the difference between the two is the difference in the soup ingredients, and even some areas of Mexico have chicken shredded green soup, red and green chicken shredded soup is added to the red pepper juice and green pepper juice for the sake of the sake, whether it is red, white or green soup, the raw materials are the use of a large grain corn called cacahuazintle, this kind of corn that is only available in Mexico, to cook until the granular blossom will emit a unique strong fragrance, Its taste is also more muscular than ordinary corn, and with chicken soup, it is a home-cooked dish once made by Indian residents.
The essence of chicken shredded soup is not its soup itself, but the side dishes with the soup, the side dishes generally use chopped lettuce shreds, radish shreds and fresh avocados, and sometimes you can use chopped green peppers and onions instead of shredded radish and avocados, no matter how the side dishes are adjusted, they must meet the three sets of colors of red, white and green, and these three colors are also the colors of the Mexican flag, so Mexico is a nation that integrates patriotic consciousness into food culture. The addition of side dishes not only adds to the taste of the soup, but also embellishes the visual effect, and the staple food eaten with this soup is baked corn crackers or fried pork skin.
Dating back to pre-Spanish colonization, the dish used to be mostly seen in religious ceremonies and is now a must-have dish on the table of Mexican families during traditional holidays, such as Christmas on National Day. It's a traditional Mexican soup dish, and I personally still like to drink it. It was this kind of chicken soup that nurtured Mexico's three-thousand-year civilization.
