The Best Vegan Tortilla Soup

olive oil

white onion, diced

garlic,

jalapeño,

28 oz can diced tomatoes (fire-roasted is even better!)

vegetable stock

6-8” inch corn tortilla

tbsp chili powder

garlic powder

19 oz can black beans,

cilantro, finely chopped

juice from 1 lime

salt and pepper

Saute the onion, garlic and jalapeño in the olive oil for 5 minutes, stirring until soft and fragrant.

Add the diced tomato, vegetable stock, tortilla, chili powder and garlic powder. Stir well and simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes.

Stir in the black beans, cilantro and lime and simmer a few more minutes.

Using an immersion blender or by placing most of the soup in a blender, blend just enough to ensure the tortilla has been blended completely into the soup. You want to leave it a little chunky.

Serve topped with avocado, cilantro, fresh lime and crispy tortilla strips.

My kids were extremely impressed by this recipe, so I have to rate it! It deserves all 5 stars. In order to play into my laziness, I used a big can of crushed tomatoes instead and that allowed me to skip the partial blending step...it worked great! Also, I have to recommend an addition of corn. It plays into the flavor profile really well and adds some visual
Interest.
Thanks, Deryn, for another great recipe!

Another winner!!! So delicious, my 10 year old devoured it, and she claimed she hated tortilla soup from a bad experience with her dad. I will definitely make this again!!!

Flavorful &amp; easy.  Tried making for my wife &amp; daughter who eat little or no meat and I ate most of it myself!

This soup is fantastic!  My family loves it and   it's become our weekly Saturday meal.

Taste was good. 
That said, be careful with the spice. My chili powder is more powerful that average and I think my jalapenos may have been on the spicy side (even though I used less than called for). Otherwise, good. I didn't have corn tortillas so I just used some old corn chips and put them in early enough that they could soften before blending. I also added some corn.

I have made it twice and it is AMAZING! I Thought the second time I made it, that it would let me down cause I was so hyped and remembered how good it was the first time...but no...it’s even better. Thanks for the recipe!!

Such a tasty meal! 

I made a few altercations so it wasn’t too spicy and had a bit more substance. 

1. Didn’t use a full tsp of cumin or chili powder
2. Added zucchini in the blended portion and some small pieces with the carrots
3. Added white beans 
4. Added lime juice - this is just what it needed. 

My husband was looking for a low-cal chicken tortilla soup, and I decided we should try this one.  We liked it a lot -thick and hearty - but I felt like it was missing something. My taste buds told me to try lime juice. Sure enough, that brightened the flavors beautifully.

Now in coming back to copy down the recipe, I see you suggested lime juice. It really tipped the scales from good to great. Bravo!

One thing I did differently was replace the cayenne with a chipotle pepper, which I pureed with the tomatoes. Just a fun suggestion for people who might prefer its flavor to cayenne.

Excellent recipe! I really enjoyed this soup! Thanks you for sharing!

This was excellent!  It was my meal for three days and my husband said it was top notch!

I've been making this soup recipe for years and I decided it was time I leave a comment. My whole family loves it, even my picky kids. We make it exactly as written and it has the best flavor. I also love that it's lower in calories and fat!

I just made this last night. It was delicious. I think the blending of the tomatoes and aromatics are what give it an edge. I am adding it to my keep pile.

This is my second time making this soup and I absolutely love it! It’s a rainy day today and I was craving it! I added corn because someone mentioned it in the comments, it adds a little something! 

Made this soup today!!  Wow!!!  It was everything I hoped for and is definitely on my menu list from now on!  I love the kick.  Thank you!

I made this Chicken Tortilla Soup and it is absolutely my new favorite. I also added black beans and corn. It was so good. Today I made a Vegetable Soup using the same recipe. Thank you so much for the recipe.

Yum! This was amazing, Kim. So much delicious flavor and I love that it was healthier!

OMG this was amazing! I LOVED this Tortilla Soup! I do "Simply Filling" with Weight Watchers and this was perfect!
