Ingredients

Soup

  • 1 Tbsp oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 jalapeno, seeds and ribs removed, finely diced
  • 1 1-oz packet taco seasoning
  • 2 14-oz cans fire-roasted diced tomatoes with green chilies
  • 2 15-oz cans chickpeas, drained
  • 1 15-oz can black beans, drained
  • 1 15-oz can corn, drained
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • ½ cup cream cheese
  • ¼ cup finely chopped cilantro
  • 1 lime

Toppings

  • 4 corn tortillas
  • ¼ cup oil

Instructions

  1. Flavor Base: Heat 1 Tbsp oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add 1 medium yellow onion (diced), 3 cloves garlic (minced), and 1 jalapeno (diced). Cook until onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Soup: Stir in 2 14-oz cans fire-roasted diced tomatoes with green chilies, 2 15-oz cans chickpeas (drained), 1 15-oz can black beans (drained), 1 15-oz can corn (drained), and 4 cups vegetable broth. Cover and let simmer for at least 15 minutes, up to 45 minutes.
  3. Tortilla Strips: Meanwhile, cut 4 corn tortillas into thin strips. Heat ¼ cup oil over medium in a heavy-bottomed pan. Fry the tortilla strips until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  4. Serve: Stir cream cheese, cilantro, and lime juice into the soup just before serving. Ladle into bowls, top with tortilla strips and desired toppings.

Notes

  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 4-5 days. Freeze without garnishes for up to 2 months.
  • Ensure the soup is hot but not boiling when adding cream cheese for smooth melting.
  • To avoid oily tortilla strips, ensure oil is hot, fry in batches, and drain well on paper towels.
