You may think that I am crazy, but I love soup all year round, even with Tucson's hot climate. I made this Easy Vegan Tortilla Soup in May when it was just starting to get hot here.
I think I like to eat soup year round because I am always cold in my house. Right now as I type this I have on a thick scarf and fingerless gloves. I pretty much live in them.
I love all things Mexican inspired, so this soup came together quite easily. Black beans are a staple in my pantry, so I knew that I had to make this soup with black beans.
I did not add a lot of spice to this recipe. If you want to make it spicier, you could use a serrano pepper instead of a jalapeño, or add hot sauce when serving.
