This is the perfect soup if you want something super clean but with a ton of flavor. It’s completely plant based and is full of fire roasted veggies. I pureed the roasted peppers to give it texture and added roasted corn at the end. Top it w avocados or our Avocado Crema, and I promise you will be happy!

  • Add the diced onion and cook for about 3-5mins.
  • Dice the remaining cloves of garlic and add to the onions. Cook about 3 mins making sure to stir to avoid burning.

Notes

Add organic rotisserie chicken and use chicken stock instead of veggie stock to make this the perfect Chicken Enchilada Soup.
