  • ¼ cup chopped carrot
  • ¼ cup chopped celery
  • 3 cloves of garlic finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 28 oz can diced tomatoes
  • 15 oz can mixed beans {if you can't find mixed beans use pinto or black!}
  • ½ of 15oz can of corn
  • ½ cup sliced olives
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon chili flakes
  • 1 vegetable bouillon cube
  • *for the tortilla strips*
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 1-2 cups vegetable oil
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  • In a large nonstick pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
  • Add in the soyrizo, onion, carrot, celery, and garlic. Saute until chorizo is lightly browned and veggies are soft. Add in the seasonings.
  • Rinse the can of beans and add in to the pot, followed by the corn and can of tomatoes.
  • Add in the vegetable bouillon cube, then add enough water to the pot to cover the vegetables completely with about 1 inch extra {about 3-4 cups}.
  • Lower heat to medium-low, and let soup simmer for at least 30 minutes.
  • Shortly before serving, make the tortilla strips. Cut the tortillas in half and then into small strips.
  • Heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it starts to shimmer. Add in the tortilla strips, and fry until lightly golden brown and crisp. Remove, place on a paper towel, and sprinkle with salt.
  • Serve with vegan cheese, sliced avocado, and the tortilla strips. Enjoy!
