Tortilla Soup

Tortilla soup is a staple in our home. It’s so delicious and makes a great option on days we feel like something lighter but still want something comforting. 

While my tortilla soup recipe is actually vegan, you’re welcome to add meat! I developed this recipe back in my vegan days years ago but we still enjoy it enough that I haven’t altered it much since then (with the exception of topping the soup with a bit of sour cream).

Making the soup is so easy and relatively quick, making it a great option for busy weeknights. There is usually a good amount of leftovers in our home too, which is perfect for lunches!

You’ll want to start off with a large pot. Add in the vegetable broth, corn, black beans, kidney beans, diced tomatoes, diced onion, garlic powder, salt, pepper, chili powder, and paprika. Stir until well combined and bring to a boil. Once things are boiling, bring the soup down to a simmer and let it simmer for 25-30 minutes. Then, serve it in bowls with whatever toppings you’d like! We typically do sour cream, diced avocado, and tortilla chips, but you can do whatever you like.

This soup is so delicious and has just the right amount of spice for us. You can easily add more chili powder and/or paprika if you’re looking for more heat. 

As I mentioned before too, the leftovers are great for lunch the next day, but this soup freezes really well too!
