I was inspired by this post yesterday on The Importance of Being Reese – this chick is actually kinda close to me and I didn’t know until I started reading her blog! Cool huh?
So anyhoo, obviously, as the resident veg in charge, I couldn’t do a chicken tortilla soup, but I used my noodle, and whipped up a quick and delicious veg tortilla soup, totally packed with protein and deliciousness for you to enjoy.
Soooooo here goes, my little poodles.
What you’ll need:
A thingie of low-sodium vegetable broth
1 can of black beans
1 can of corn
1/2 can of diced tomatoes
Some paprika
Some cayenne pepper powder
A tad bit of cilantro
A some crushed tortilla chips
What you’ll do:
In a soup pan, dump your can of black beans, juice and all in there. Now drain your corn, and dump that, along with the tomatoes in there too. Paprika, cayenne, and cilantro to taste, along with with a pinch of salt. Add a little bit of vegetable broth. Make it as juicy or as thick as you want, and heat on high til you see a boil, and then let it simmer for about 20 minutes. As you serve it, sprinkle some tortilla on top, add some guac, or add a spoonful of rice.
Seriously delish.

I love tortilla chips in soup. Have you ever tried the tortilla soup that they make when they do vitamix demos? vegetarian, healthy and out-of-this-world delicious!
I have not! I am planning to register for a vitamix for our wedding, so I may try it then!
That will be a great item for your registry. You must be super psyched.
I love tortilla soup! This sounds delicious!
It’s so good and SO easy. The other cool thing is that you can either make it really really spicy or calm it down depending on what you like with the cayenne pepper!
Awesome! I’m happy this worked out for you. It looks tasty too! I might give the vegetarian soup a shot. I’ll let you know how it works out. Thanks for sharing!
Absolutely! It’s awesome, and ridiculously filling! Thanks for the inspiration!
