Year of the Soup: Week 4
This was a yummy one. I’ve never had regular tortilla soup because it always has chicken in it, so I can’t vouch that this tastes like the real thing. But it does taste good. The recipe is below. I made some alterations to the original (I can’t seem to make a recipe without changing it a little.)
Vegetarian Tortilla Soup
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 green bell peppers, diced
- 2 medium onions, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons ground cumin
- 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
- 2 (4 ounce) cans chopped green chile peppers, drained
- 4 (14 ounce) cans vegetable broth
- salt and pepper to taste
- 12 ounces frozen whole kernel corn
- 1 (8 ounce) can black beans, drained
- 4 corn tortillas, chopped
- 1 tsp lime juice
Directions
- Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in the pepper and onion stir fry mix, garlic, and cumin, and cook 5 minutes, until vegetables are tender. Mix in the tomatoes and chile peppers. Pour in the broth, and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer 30 minutes.
- Mix corn, beans and tortilla into the soup, and continue cooking 5 minutes. Stir in lime juice. Serve hot.
