During these cold winter days, all I want is some hot and comforting soup. 

These days I don’t have much time to cook, and so I’m all about quick and easy meals.

This Mexican-inspired Black Bean Tortilla Soup is so easy to make and comes together in under 30 minutes (minus the waiting time for the Instant Pot).

What is Black Bean Tortilla Soup?

Black Bean Tortilla Soup is a vegetarian soup essentially a soup prepared with black beans, in addition to sauteed garlic, jalapenos, onions, and corn. The veggies are combined with a green enchilada sauce and vegetable broth. 

Once the soup is cooked, simply add tortilla chips and blend. That’s it! 

Black Bean Enchilada Soup is so delicious with all the toppings. 

Can I make this recipe vegan, gluten-free?

The Black Bean Tortilla Soup is already vegan and gluten-free.

For the toppings – omit the cheese for a vegan option.

For a gluten-free option, make sure you use gluten-free chips. Trader Joe’s Organic Quinoa Black Bean Chips are already gluten-free.

Tips on making Black Bean Tortilla Soup:

  • Prep the veggies.
  • Cook the soup in the Instant Pot.
  • Add the tortilla chips and blend the soup.
  • Add toppings. Enjoy!

Ingredients you’ll need for Black Bean Tortilla Soup:

Oil: I love using Avocado Oil for Mexican food, or any flavorless oil will work.

Green Enchilada Sauce: You will need to use a green chili enchilada sauce for this recipe, I really like Hatch which can be found at Whole Foods.

Vegetable Broth: This recipe needs vegetable broth which adds lots of flavor as opposed to water. 

Black Beans: I always buy organic canned black beans, just make sure you rinse and drain them really well.

Frozen Corn: Again, I always use organic frozen corn, rinse under warm water and drain.

Taco Seasoning: Taco seasoning adds so much flavor and some spice. I love Trader Joe’s brand.

Veggies: Garlic, Jalapeno, Onion.

Tortilla Chips: I love Trader Joe’s Organic Quinoa and Black Beans Chips that are gluten-free.

PANEER TIKKA QUESADILLAS are mouthwatering! Here's PANEER TIKKA QUESADILLAS are mouthwatering! Here's an Indo-Fusion dish you will love! I made a delicious marinade for the paneer and sauteed it along with the veggies. Assemble your whole wheat quesadillas and cook until the cheese has melted. The best part about this dish is my "special taco sauce" which complements these quesadillas perfectly. ⁠

Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms who show up s Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms who show up selflessly every single day. Also, a happy mothers day to all of you who want to be moms. ❤️  This is the most challenging role of my life, but the journey is totally worth it. Krish has made me a stronger and happier person. He gives new meaning to my life.  And lastly, my kid couldn’t give me one nice picture of us in Hawaii… there’s either someone in the back or he’s making a face or he just wants to get away. He just can’t sit still for a minute… and with that a Happy Mother’s Day to me! 🥰

Vacationing with a kid has been a completely diffe Vacationing with a kid has been a completely different experience. While it’s nice to spend time as a family, dinners can get tough with a baby. Sanjiv and I enjoyed a romantic evening at House Without A Key in peace because Krish “thankfully” fell asleep (he was behind us I promise… swipe). It was so nice to converse with my better half over live music + cocktails, delicious food, and the BEST coconut cake (last pic). A memorable meal and evening! ❤️ #mylove

Aloha 🤙! Our first family trip! We made it to H Aloha 🤙! Our first family trip! We made it to Hawaii safe and sound, and Krish was pretty good on the plane. It’s my first time in Hawaii and I’m loving Waikiki… the beach, food, window shopping, and city life. I love being able to walk everywhere. It’s the perfect amount of action and relaxation for me. This is totally my kinda vacation 😎!  Krish has been loving all the people-watching… something he doesn’t do much of back home. He’s been flexible and has pretty much adjusted to our schedule. Thank you 🙏🏼 guys for all the food recommendations (Duke’s Hula Pie) and tips on traveling with a toddler. I can’t thank you all enough. ❤️ #myworld
