Texas soup is a recipe that combines influences from Texan and Mexican cuisine, reflecting the rich cultural mix of the border region between the United States and Mexico. This dish, known for its robust and spicy flavor, is appreciated in several Latin American countries, although with some variations and different names. For example, in Mexico and other nearby countries, it is simply known as "taco soup" or "ranch soup," while in some areas it is called "Tex-Mex soup." This soup emerged as a practical and delicious way to use common ingredients like beans, ground beef, and spices, which are found in both culinary traditions. Its slow and careful preparation allows the flavors to blend perfectly, providing a comforting dish ideal for cool days or family gatherings.
