This is one of my family's favourite soups. They love it because it tastes like a loaded taco, and I love it because it's super nutritious. It's loaded with cabbage, which is packed with vitamins and nutrients, and also aids in digestion. If you'd like to get a little fancy, add a little haystack of homemade crisped corn tortilla strips on top!
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 40 minutes
Total Time: 50 minutes
Yield: 8 servings
Ingredients:
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 bell pepper, chopped

- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp oregano
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 4 cups water
- 1 can pinto or black beans
- 1 tsp salt
- 4 corn tortillas, thinly sliced
- 1 bunch cilantro, chopped
- 2 limes
- 1 avocado
- sour cream or Greek yogurt

Steps:
- Heat some oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, carrot, and garlic. Cook until softened, stirring frequently for about 10 minutes.

Thanks for the recipe!

Looks and sounds yummy.
A lot of ingredients but still not complicated and what better way to eat healthy "good for you" food.
Have to try this soon.
Does it freeze well?

I haven't frozen this one in particular because it gets eaten up in 2 days usually (even when I make a HUGE batch) but I've made similar ones that have definitely frozen well. Just don't add the toppings before you do so :)

Thanks - I am always dreaming that I will have enough leftovers for another day but does not happen very often.
Good to know about freezing - just in case.
