This zingy chicken broth recipe from Charlotte Pike makes the perfect nourishing lunch on a chilly day. Let it simmer away in your slow cooker, then serve with tortillas and avocado.
Charlotte says: “Sopa de lima, as it’s called in Mexico, is a wonderfully zingy yet light chicken soup. Cooking the chicken thighs with the bones in, then removing them just before serving keeps the meat juicy and tender.”

Totopos and tortilla chips are essentially interchangeable. They’re both triangular snacks cut from round tortillas and deep-fried. It’s thought the word ‘totopos’ comes from Nahuatl, the language spoken by the Aztecs, and means ‘well toasted’.
