I feel like it's been weeks since I've had a normal enough weekend/week to justify cooking, and to be fair, I'm actually not sure if this soup is going to get eaten. What I am sure of is that it's delicious, and because it's vegan, will freeze beautifully. The recipe is from Thug Kitchen, with a few shifts due to personal preferences. It's a piece of cake, but the flavor is insanely delicious, and with almost no weird ingredients. Cause really, who knows where liquid smoke exists in the grocery store!?
Ingredients //
2 small/1 large onions
4 carrots
1 or 2 jalapeños (I did 2, the soup is spicy without being overwhelming, but I like it hot)
4 cloves garlic
2.5 teaspoons cumin, oregano and chili powder
14.5 ounces diced tomatoes
1 small can tomato paste
4 cups vegetable broth
1/2 lime worth of juice
6 small corn tortillas
1 can black beans
Olive oil and salt
Instructions //
1 // Chop the onion, carrots, jalapeño and garlic up real small
2 // Saute the onion in olive oil over medium for 2 ish minutes, add the carrots and cook for 3 more minutes, then add the jalapeño, garlic and spices and cook for 30 seconds or so
3 // Add the tomatoes and tomato paste, then the broth. Stir and bring to a simmer
4 // Add the tortilla bits (diced up real little) and lime juice, then let the soup simmer for about 10 minutes
6 // Add the can of black beans to the soup once it's blended
7 // Serve with cilantro/avocado/quesadilla/whatever your sweet heart desires
PS I bet corn would be dope in this. I am regretting the choice to exclude it. Rookie mistake.
