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.
