A variety of beans add protein, tomatoes, onions, and salsa verde add some amazing flavor, and tortilla chips add a nice crunch to this soup.

This vegan tortilla soup is inexpensive, easy, and it’s tasty and warming on a cold day. Once you get home from work, just throw everything in the pot and let it cook for a short time.

You’ll be sitting down to a tasty bowl of vegan tortilla soup in just minutes. Top it off with crunchy chips, creamy guacamole, dairy free cheese, or fresh herbs. The possibilities are endless!

Can this recipe be made in the slow cooker?

Yes, I think this would work well in the slow cooker. Just put everything inside and cook on low for 4-5 hours.

Can this tortilla soup be frozen?

Yes, if you want to freeze this soup, I recommend storing it in single-serving, freezer safe containers. This soup should stay fresh in the freezer for about 3 months.

Serve this vegan bean tortilla soup with:

• chips and salsa
• a green salad
• vegan breadsticks
• fresh guacamole

What type of beans should go into tortilla soup?

I used garbanzo beans and pinto beans, but you could use black beans, kidney beans, white beans, or even some lentils. Use what you have on hand!

If you’re looking for a brand of allergy friendly beans, you may want to check out Eden Brand beans. They had good allergen policies the last time I called and checked. Please call and check on any ingredient that you’re not sure of to make sure it’s safe for your family.

This recipe is easily adaptable as well. If you want to add chicken, go ahead. If you want more beans, add those, too. You can customize this tortilla soup to fit your needs. I love that it’s so quick to throw together, but it’s still a healthy and filling dinner.
