Soup

One-bowl / one-pot

Freezer-friendly
This spicy soup is inspired by Mexican ‘Sopa Azteca’, which uses homemade fried tortilla strips. For this faster —and one pot!— version, we used store-bought tortilla chips instead. The addition of adobo sauce makes it a touch spicy, and the black beans also boosts the protein content of the soup while making it a filling and delicious meal packed with flavour.

So simple and delicious. Perfect that you can make so much in just one pan and adapt the toppings to your liking. Really comforting!

I decided to make a recipe of u every day. So be looking forward to all my comments 😄. Made this yesterday and now I’m enjoying it at work. So good! More of this please: no-fuss, delicious recipes

I loved it. I used peppers in adobe sauce and then removed them. Added onions, guac, siete chips on top.

Omg that was so amazing. I could have this every week. So quick and simple yet so incredibly powerful!

Chipotle adobo sauce is a bit pricey in the UK, any recommendation to make it a bit more budget friendly? Smoked paprika maybe?

Hey Émilie, so glad you loved the soup! 😊 It’s definitely one of those recipes that packs a punch with simple ingredients. For a more budget-friendly alternative to chipotle adobo sauce, smoked paprika is a great idea! You could try combining smoked paprika with a bit of cayenne or chili powder for heat, and maybe a splash of vinegar to mimic that tangy element from the adobo sauce. It won't be exactly the same, but it should give you a similar smoky and spicy flavour! Let us know how it turns out if you give it a try!

Very good and easy will definitely be making this again.

Really good! The lime was a really nice addition at the end! Can't wait to make this on a cold dreary day.

Bringing this in our weeknight dinners. So easy and delicious.
What a great way to get some avocados as well.

So yummy

Ridiculously good. This is gonna be a regular. The add-ons really make it - don't skip those. I didn't have the chipotle sauce and I didn't blend the onions/tomatoes up and it was still super yummy (and easy!!).
