Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

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

  2. 2

    Add Garlic and Other Vegetables

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

  3. 3

    Combine with Tomatoes and Broth

    Add the canned diced tomatoes (with juice) and vegetable broth to the pot. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Season the Soup

    Sprinkle in the ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir the mixture and bring it to a boil.

  2. 5

    Simmer

    Once boiling, reduce heat to low and let the soup simmer for about 20-25 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

  3. 6

    Finish with Lime Juice

    After simmering, stir in the lime juice for a fresh kick and remove the pot from heat.

Serving

  1. 7

    Prepare the Toppings

    While the soup is cooling slightly, prepare your toppings: slice the avocado, chop the cilantro, and have the tortilla chips, sour cream, and shredded cheese ready.

  2. 8

    Serve the Soup

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