It is served with pieces of [[pasilla]] chiles, [[chicharrón]], avocado, fresh cheese cubes and sour cream. Although this exact origin of tortilla soup is unknown, it is known that it comes from the Mexico City area in Mexico. Traditional tortilla soup is made with chicken broth combined with roasted tomatoes, onion, garlic, chiles and tortillas, cut into strips and fried. There are some variations, for example the broth being made with a thickened tomato base and ground tortillas or a bean soup enriched with crunchy strips of fried tortillas. <ref>{{cite web|url=http://articles.latimes.com/2005/nov/30/food/fo-tortillasoup30 |title=A Bowl Of Mexican Soup |publisher=Los Angeles Times |accessdate=27 January 2018|date=2005-11-30 }}</ref>
