Taco Soup Recipe

So a co-worker told me about taco soup and since I love Mexican food, this was a no brainer for me! My only issue is that it called for processed packets of ranch dressing and taco seasoning. Since I'm trying to eat a plant-based diet, I had to substitute but, have no fear, I was still able to add delicious flavor to this dish! This is a great meal for a rainy or cold day. 

INGREDIENTS

1 cup vegetable broth

2 tbsp chopped poblano pepper 

2 fresh Dill sprigs, chopped

4 fresh Parsley sprigs, chopped

1 28oz can Muir Glen fire roasted tomatoes (can find at Publix, Kroger and Whole Foods)

1 15oz can black beans (I get ones that are only beans and water)

1 15oz can pinto beans (I get ones that are only beans and water)

1 15oz can sweet corn

1 green onion, chopped

1/3 yellow pepper, seeded and chopped

1/3 orange pepper, seeded and chopped (you can use red and/or green peppers if desired)

1 clove garlic, peeled and chopped

1/3 large yellow onion (or 1/2 medium)

1/2 tsp sea salt

1 tbsp chili powder

1 tsp cumin

MIX IT UP!

Add everything to a medium-sized crockpot and put on high for 4 hours. If you are eating this later in the day, you can do a lower setting for longer hours. Serve in your favorite bowl with favorite toppings. I made a small baked potato and poured my soup over it for a hearty meal. You could add sour cream or cheese if you eat dairy. The possibilities are endless! Enjoy!
