Ingredients
For the vegan taco soup:
- 1 Tbsp oil
- 1 onion, sliced or diced
- 2 bell peppers, cut into short strips (I used orange and yellow)
- 100 g (~ 3 ½ oz) mushrooms, sliced or diced
- 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 2 tsp fajita spice mix
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- 400 g tin black beans, drained (240g, or ~ 1 1/4 cups, when drained)
- 400 g tin (~ 1 1/3 cups) chopped tomatoes
- 200 g tin sweetcorn, drained (160g, or ~ 1 cup, when drained)
- 500 ml (~ 2 cups) vegetable stock
For the crispy tortilla strips:
- 1 large flour tortilla
- 2 Tbsp oil
Extra toppings (optional):
- Sliced avocado
- Fresh coriander (cilantro)
- Sliced spring onions
- Grated cheese
- Sour cream
Instructions
- Heat a dash of oil in a large saucepan, and add the sliced onion, peppers and mushrooms. Cook over a medium heat, stirring regularly, until very soft - probably around 10 minutes.
- Add the garlic and spices, and cook for a few more minutes, until the spices are fragrant.
- Next add the tin of black beans, canned tomatoes, sweetcorn, and vegetable stock. Bring to a simmer, and allow to cook until everything is piping hot and the vegetables are totally cooked. It will be ready to eat after only 10 minutes or so of simmering, but for an even tastier soup, leave it for 20 or even 30 minutes to allow the flavours to intensify.
- While the soup is simmering, prepare the crispy tortilla strips. Cut a large tortilla into strips. Heat a good splash of oil in a frying pan, then add the tortilla strips. Cook them over a medium heat for a few minutes, stirring and turning them regularly, until they are crispy and nicely browned.
- Serve the taco soup topped with the crispy tortilla strips, and any other toppings you've chosen.
Notes
The soup can be cooked in advance and reheated before serving, if needed. Store in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or in the freezer. Reheat thoroughly in a saucepan or in the microwave, and add toppings just before serving.
