Tortilla Bean Soup

I have to admit that I have never been much of a soup fan. I cannot pinpoint why, but I just know that it all changed when I created this recipe.  It has the perfect blend of liquid and texture that my whole family has been raving about it. It puts together two of my favorite things to cook with, Cumin and Cilantro.  The aroma of flavors gives this dish an extra kick without being too spicy.  

I prefer to sauté the vegetable broth, onions, peppers, and jalapenos to help bring out the extra aroma and then add in the beans and fire roasted tomatoes, then each of the spices, and make sure that I blend it well together. And the best part is besides the tortillas, the entire dish is simple and easy to make, and is a great recipe for busy moms. 

And if you could not tell from all my recipes, I love corn tortillas. I use Three Sisters Nixtamal, not only because they are locally owned just across the river from me, but because they are organic and use all non-GMO products.  Let’s just say, I could have them every day.  They make a great addition to any Mexican Dish, but they also make for great tortilla chips for this Tortilla Bean Soup.  

While the soup is cooking, I take the corn tortillas, cut them into triangles and lay them out flat on a baking sheet. Bake in the oven at 375 degrees for about 10-15 minutes, flipping them about half way through.
