Here is an easy comforting Vegan Tortilla Soup recipe that is perfect for curling up with on cold Fall and Winter days.
You may think that I am crazy, but I love soup all year round, even with Tucson's hot climate. I made this 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.
This may surprise those of you who follow my blog, but 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.

I love a small baking sheet for baking the corn tortilla strips. The one below is the one I own. It fits perfectly in a toaster oven.
