Quick Black Bean Tortilla Soup

 

When I am wanting a quick dinner that is healthy and delicious, this is my go to recipe. A little bit of chopping and just a few minutes of cooking and I have healthy meal that fills us up and is super tasty!

 

You need:

1 red onion, diced small (about the size of black beans)

2 red bell peppers, diced small

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, diced finely (and just a tough of the sauce if you like it really spicy)

1/2 tsp. ground cumin

3 c. vegetable stalk

2 cans black beans, rinsed well and drained

1 can corn, rinsed and drained

salt &Pepper

avocado, sliced

cilantro, washed and loosely chopped

corn tortillas

extra virgin olive oil

 

Put 2 Tbls olive oil in a pot and add diced garlic, onions, and red peppers. Cook for about 3 minutes on medium, till the onions soften and start to turn clear, and add the chipotle pepper and sauce. Cook for about 1 minute, add the cumin and stir well. after the peppers are soft and cooked, add the veggie stalk, beans and corn. cook on low heat till it’s heated through. Salt and pepper to taste.

While the soup is heating, cut corn tortillas in half, then into 1/2 inch strips. In a pan, heat enough olive oil to cover the bottom, and place strips in heated oil, and fry till they start to turn golden brown and remove from oil. place on paper towel to absorb extra oil and lightly salt.

place in bowls, garnish with slices of avocado, cilantro and chips. You can also add cheese, sour cream, or switch the avocado slices for guacamole for more decadence. Mm-mmm delicious!
