Receta Vegetarian Tortilla Soup with Black Beans
Vegetarian Tortilla Soup with Black Beans
We have been making a lot of soups in our house lately. Mainly because: as a busy parent, they are such easy go-to-one-pot meals; soups are super easy for babies to eat (thanks to them being relatively soft); and soups are perfect in fall weather!
I got this recipe from my sister-in-law, who has turned this soup into a bit of a family favorite. Kids love it, babies love it, and husbands love it too
The best part about tortilla soup is you can add any mix-ins you like, all of which are delicious and healthy. Some of our favorites include: avocado (1 tbsp per bowl), diced red onion, chopped cilantro, a couple of tortilla chips – crumbled, and shredded Mexican cheese (1 tbsp per bowl).
This recipe has tons of healthy veggies: peppers, tomatoes and corn, but is balanced well thanks to the protein from the black beans and cheese (if you choose to top it with cheese).
At less than 150 calories per serving, you can go back for seconds and thirds and be totally full and satisfied at the end of the meal!
