There are tons and tons of this soup recipe on the internet, and many different variations. Also, this soup can be a bit time consuming to make or not too time consuming to make, depending on how much time someone has, or how much time someone has. When using a pasta sauce as the base, so much of the prep and simmering can be eliminated, especially a good, clean sauce like da Giulia. Also, another easier step is to use tortilla chips instead of tortilla strips that have to be cooked or fried. I make this soup often and different ways, depending on what ingredients I have handy.
Last night I had everything you see in the picture: Sauce, avocado, fresh tomato, sour cream, shredded cheddar, onion, black beans, vegetable broth, and tortilla chips. What you didn’t see was chili powder, red pepper flakes, cumin.
Every bite an bit of this soup packs loads of nutrition, starting with its star player- Tomato!
