10 Minute Vegetarian Tortilla Soup

Honestly, this soup took me 10 minutes to make and it is tasty!  I have made a non-vegetarian version before: Chicken Tortilla Soup.

Ingredients:

• Olive Oil for sauteing
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 bell peppers, chopped (I used red and orange for more color)
• 1 jalapeno, diced (I did not have one so I used 1 tsp of jarred pickled jalapenos)
• 2 cans of diced tomatoes (I used fire roasted)
• 3 cups vegetable broth (I used low sodium and Organic)
• 10-12 oz bag of frozen corn (Organic preferred)
• 2 cans of black beans, rinsed
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 lime, juiced
• 1 bunch of fresh cilantro, chopped (key ingredient)

Directions:

In a large pot, sautee onions, peppers, and jalapeno until soft.  Add diced tomatoes (with juice), broth, corn, beans, and cumin.  Bring to a boil and then simmer for 10-20 min.  Add in lime juice and cilantro near the end.  Serve with desired condiments, like avocado slices, tortilla chips, and shredded cheese.  Makes a large pot – ok to freeze leftovers.
