Broth and Flavoring

Toppings

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion, and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Aromatics

    Stir in minced garlic, diced carrot, celery, bell pepper, and zucchini. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.

Cooking the Soup

  1. 3

    Add Broth and Flavorings

    Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, diced tomatoes, corn, and black beans. Stir to combine.

  2. 4

    Season the Soup

    Add chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

  3. 5

    Finish with Lime Juice

    Stir in the lime juice just before serving to add freshness.

Serving

  1. 6

    Prepare Toppings

    While the soup is simmering, prepare the toppings: crumble or shred the cheese, dice the avocado, and chop the cilantro.

  2. 7

    Serve the Soup

    Ladle the soup into bowls, and top each serving with tortilla chips, diced avocado, cheese, cilantro, and a dollop of sour cream.
