Tips for making the best vegetarian tortilla soup

Use a high quality vegetable broth. The broth is the base of this soup, so it matters what type of quality you use – all of your flavor will develop through this broth. I love using Pacific or Rachel Ray’s low sodium vegetable broth for this soup!
Cook this soup at the proper temperature for the right amount of time. I put 30 minutes as the cook time, but how you know it’s done is seeing the soup thicken and cook down. Your flavors will develop so much more by letting this soup sit and simmer.
Use fire roasted diced tomatoes over regular diced tomatoes. This adds a nice dynamic and a zippy flavor to your soup.
Store this recipe in a sealed container in the fridge or freeze for a make ahead dinner another night – defrost and cook on heat as needed.

This vegetarian tortilla soup is packed with protein, nourishing ingredients, and is refreshing and light enough to make all throughout the year. If you try this recipe rate/comment below and let me know what you think! We hope you feel the love in this bowl of plant-based sunshine. ❤
