Vegan Tortilla Soup
Tortilla soup is a mildly spicy tomato based soup that is usually cooked with chicken, but this delicious Plant Based Vegan Tortilla soup is made only of vegetable goodness! By adding kale to this already hearty soup we made it even more nutritious. You can enjoy this soup sprinkled with some fresh cilantro and jalapeños and a piece of gluten free cornbread on the side.

Why do you use water instead of veggie broth?
Sometimes the spices that are in the veggie broth conflict with the flavor that I wanted for this soup but it would still work.
Amazing!
