Slurp Like a Mexican: 50 Recipes of Authentic Mexican Soups, Stews, and Much More!

Bring the Flavors of Mexico to Your Kitchen

Slurp Like a Mexican brings together 50 recipes that turn everyday ingredients into the deep, satisfying flavors of Mexican home cooking. Marissa Marie focuses on soups, stews, and the salsas and sides that make them complete, while keeping the instructions approachable for cooks outside of Mexico.

What You’ll Find Inside

This collection is organized so you can build your skills before you start cooking. Early chapters introduce the essential flavors, staples, and techniques used throughout the recipes. Then the book moves into more than 30 soups and broths, from light sopa de fideo to rich pozole and hearty beef stews.

A Wide Range of Soups and Stews 🍲

The soup and stew chapters alone would make a full cookbook. You’ll find classics like chicken tortilla soup, black bean chili, caldo de queso, and menudo, along with less familiar dishes like sour lima soup, tarascan bean soup, and smoked chipotle butternut squash. Several recipes include both traditional names and English descriptions, so you can see where a dish comes from before you cook it.

Salsas, Sauces & Seasonings 🌶️

Because Mexican food depends on layered flavor, the book devotes a large section to salsas, sauces, and seasonings. Recipes include fresh and roasted salsas, pico de gallo, guacamole, enchilada sauce, and a variety of chile-based preparations. You’ll also find dry rubs and marinades that work beyond the soups themselves.

Appetizers and Drinks

The final chapters round out the table with snacks and beverages such as taquitos, queso fundido, shrimp ceviche, and aguas frescas. These are practical complements to the soups and stews, giving you the pieces for a full Mexican-inspired meal.

Written for Home Cooks

The author’s approach is direct: the ingredients should be easy to find, and the techniques should be clear enough for a cook who did not grow up with Mexican food. If you’re looking for a practical introduction to authentic soups and stews, this book gives you a large recipe collection in one place.
