Store Cupboard Crispy Tortilla Soup

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Maybe my favourite soup!! It’s got so much flavour, so much texture and oh lord those crispy tortilla shreds!

Here’s the cool bit - pretty much 90% of the main ingredients for this soup are store cupboard ingredients! I always try to make sure I have tins of peeled tomatoes, black beans and corn so I can whip this fella up at a moments notice. And guess what?? It’s actually pretty healthy!

If you prefer, you could very easily bake the tortillas in the oven at 200c if you’d like to avoid frying - they should only take around 10 minutes.
Make it - slurp it - enjoy it!

Ingredients
  
  • 3 tablespoon rapeseed oil
  • 2 corn tortillas (sliced into thin strips)
  • 1 teaspoon Tajin seasoning (if you can’t find it, just use a pinch of paprika, some chilli flakes and some sea salt)
  • ½ white onion (diced)
  • 2 large cloves garlic
  • ¼ teaspoon cumin seed
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 800 g tin plum tomatoes
  • 700 ml vegan vegetable stock
  • 1 tin black beans (drained and washed)
  • 198 g tin sweetcorn (drained and washed)
  • Small bunch coriander
  • 1 lime (quartered)
  • 1 avocado (peeled, de-stoned and quartered)
Instructions
 
  • Heat a medium frying pan over medium heat and add the rapeseed oil. Bring to heat.
  • Add the shredded tortillas in small batches and fry for around a minute or until they begin to turn very slightly brown. Remove from the pan and place on a piece of kitchen towel to drain off the excess oil. Repeat until all the tortilla slices are fried. Toss with the Tajin and set aside.
  • In a large deep saucepan, add a tiny drizzle of rapeseed oil and bring to a medium heat.
  • Add the onion and fry until it’s starting to turn translucent. Don’t let it burn - stir often.
  • Add the garlic and fry for a further minute before adding the cumin and the paprika.
  • Add the tin of plum tomatoes and crush with the back of a spatula. Stir and reduce the heat slightly once the sauce reaches a simmer.
  • Allow to simmer for around 5 minutes or until the sauce is starting to reduce. Add the stock and cover. Stirring occasionally, simmer the soup for a good 20 minutes. Add the beans and sweetcorn, stir to combine and cook for a further 10 minutes.
  • Once cooked, the soup should be good and reduced but nice and saucy! Dish up into four bowls, top with avocado, a good squeeze of lime, some coriander and a handful of your crispy tortilla shreds. You can also add an extra shake of Tajin because it’s DELICIOUS!
