Follow The Directions
01
Step
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and garlic; sauté until the onion is translucent and softened, about 8-10 minutes.
02
Step
Add the finely chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce to the pot. Cook and stir until fragrant, releasing their smoky aroma, about 1 minute.
03
Step
Stir in chili powder and cumin; cook and stir until the spices are fragrant and evenly distributed, about 2-3 minutes.
04
Step
Pour in the vegetable broth, then add the drained and rinsed pinto beans, garbanzo beans, and black beans. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
05
Step
Add the diced spicy tomatoes (undrained) and the drained corn to the soup. Stir in the ground cinnamon. Continue to simmer for another 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
06
Step
Season the soup with a pinch of cayenne pepper, salt, and ground black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed.
07
Step
Ladle the Spicy Tortilla Bean Soup into bowls and garnish with your favorite toppings such as lime wedges, shredded Cheddar cheese, diced avocado, sour cream, or tortilla strips.
For a smoother soup, use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup after simmering. Be careful not to over-blend; you want to retain some texture.
If you prefer a milder soup, reduce the amount of chipotle peppers or remove the seeds before chopping.
This soup is even better the next day, as the flavors continue to develop. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
To make this soup vegetarian, ensure your vegetable broth is vegetarian-friendly.
