Have you already discovered the magic of tortilla soup? The hearty, flavorful soup. The tomato and cumin flavors. The crunchy tortilla chips on top?

We've been making this vegan chickpea tortilla soup around here these days. It's a soup that's perfect any time of year, and takes no time to make. Perfect for those days when you don't feel like cooking.

This is one of those soups where you pretty much dump in a few spices, a few cans of ingredients, and then just let simmer until you're ready to serve. So easy.

In our version, we use black beans and chickpeas, but you can just use black beans (or chickpeas) if you prefer. However, I love the mix of beans! And want more ideas for beans? Check out these substitutes for black beans.

This is a protein-rich vegan soup that will leave you full for hours! The beans add a perfect protein, while the tomatoes and spices add a richness of flavor.

Spices you need:

  • Chili powder
  • Chipotle chile powder
  • Ground cumin
  • Garlic powder

Cans needed:

  • Crushed tomatoes
  • Black beans
  • Garbanzo beans

Other ingredients:

  • Onion
  • Vegetable stock
  • Olive oil
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Tortilla chips

Topping suggestions:

While the tortilla soup is delicious, you may want to top with other things than crushed tortilla chips. Here are some suggestions.

  • Lime juice - squeeze fresh lime juice over the top!
  • Cilantro - If you're a cilantro lover, then some fresh cilantro is delicious on this soup
  • Avocado - Some diced avocado adds a nice texture and healthy fat to the soup
  • Cheese - Use a vegan cheese if you're vegan, or a regular cheese if you're going for a vegetarian version of this tortilla soup. Either way, this is completely optional! Sometimes I like cheese on my tortilla soup, and sometimes I don't.

How to make the vegan tortilla soup:

This tortilla soup is so easy to make. First, just dice up your onion.

Then, add your olive oil to a big stew pot, and then add your onion. Saute until your onion is cooked through and translucent. Add your spices, mix around for a minute, then add the crushed tomatoes, vegetable broth and beans. Add the salt and pepper. Stir everything together.

Simmer on medium-low heat for 20-30 minutes.

Plate, and top with broken up tortilla chips (and anything else)!
