This recipe for vegetarian soup is packed with flavor. It’s satisfying without needing to add in chicken or cheese. That’s because the black beans and secret ingredient, canned chipotles in adobo, over deliver.

NOTES

Notes

After enjoying this recipe 10 plus times, my family and I prefer this soup recipe with tortilla chips. In the photos, I sliced tortillas. Drizzled olive oil and salt over top. Then placed the tortillas in the oven until golden brown. Yet the tortilla chips provide more crunch. Not to mention require less prep work. All around a win with tortilla chips!
