How to make a Mexican Quinoa Tortilla Soup?

You won’t believe me how easy to make this Mexican Quinoa Tortilla Soup is. Simply put all the ingredients except the black beans and tortilla chips into a casserole and cook for 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

After 10 minutes add the drained black beans, divide into bowls or plates. Serve with tortilla chips.

That’s all! Super easy, time saving, a delicious dairy free lunch, dinner or even snack.

Note, if you add the other optional ingredients, like corn, bell pepper, cumin, and at the end time juice for an extra flavor kick, you can go straight ahead and add these right at the beginning with the other ingredients, like quinoa, vegetable broth and garlic.

This Mexican Quinoa Tortilla Soup is an easy and delicious resource for plant based protein. Black beans are rich in protein. With one cup cooked ones you get 15g of protein.

Quinoa is also naturally high in protein. 1 cooked cup supplies you with 8 grams of protein. Both quinoa and black beans therefore make it a tasty an easy way to get more protein for everyone.

Seriously this is the dish for everyone.

Even meat-lovers won’t miss the meat. It must be the texture of quinoa. I made this recently alone 4 times with friends and everyone agreed it’s so satisfying and done in no time.

Even the pickiest meat advocates got a soft spot on it in no time, yes that must mean something. I can happily say it’s my new to go.

Plus it’s so pretty easy to make with ingredients you can have in your pantry.

The entire dish is made from just 6 ingredients and in 2 easy steps. Plus you can customize by adding optional add ons to it, to make your signature.

I find it’s really delicious on it’s own, but you can serve it with fresh homemade bread, it is so delicious.

Try my Hummus Homemade Bread or the Garlic Butter Avocado Bread for yourself. Nothing will beat homemade bread.

When you make these you will inhale the delicious aroma of the smell in your kitchen while the bread is baking in the oven.

Hi Lynne! I used the stovetop all the time to make this soup. I've never tried to make it in the oven, so I don't have any advice. But if you give this a try, let me know.
