Vegetarian Tortilla Soup

I throw it all in my crockpot and let cook overnight, but you can simmer it for a few hours on the stove also.

Chop up 2 to 4 onions and saute, or microwave. (no oil either way)

Add 2 to 6 peppers I use red, yellow, and orange, chopped

1 1/2 - 2 cups of soaked and cooked black beans or 1 - 2can of low sodium black beans, rinsed.

Blend one can of low sodium diced tomatoes
With 2-4 cloves of garlic and add to the pot.

1 - 32 ounce carton of vegetable broth

1 tablespoon of tomato paste

Ancho Chili Powder to taste
1/2-1 tsp Cumin
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Hotshot or regular pepper to taste
Onion powder and garlic powder to taste


Serve with avocado, shredded cheese, or tortilla chips.
