Ingredients
-
6 to 8 corn tortillas
-
3 to 4 cups PLANTSTRONG Sofrito Broth or vegetable broth
-
1 yellow onion, diced
-
½ cup red bell pepper, diced
-
3 garlic cloves, minced
-
One 15 oz. can fire-roasted chopped tomatoes
-
One 15 oz. can fire-roasted crushed tomatoes
-
One 15 oz. can black beans, drained and rinsed
-
1 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed
-
One 8 oz. can whole green chilies, chopped
-
2 tablespoons ground cumin
-
½ cup diced avocado
-
Cilantro for garnish
-
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
-
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Preheat oven to 400.
Cut corn tortillas into ¼ - ½ inch-wide strips and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 3 to 5 minutes until crispy. Remove from the oven and set aside.
Place ½ cup of broth in a medium saucepan and add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Cook for 5 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally. Add the remaining 2 ½ to 3 ½ cups of broth (depending on how thick you like your soup) and both kinds of canned tomatoes, then bring to a boil.
Add the beans, corn, chilies, and cumin and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes. Using an immersion blender, blend very briefly, or mash slightly; this will thicken the soup a bit. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Serve with crispy sticks and diced avocado on top.
Note
