Instructions
 

Cooking Instructions

  • Heat oil in a medium to large pot over medium heat. Add onion and saute 2 minutes. Add garlic and saute 1 minute more. Add taco seasoning and stir.
  • Add corn, tomatoes, black beans, and broth and bring to a boil. Then reduce heat and cover, simmering for 10 minutes.
  • While soup is simmering, heat 1 T oil in a pan and saute faux chicken until golden and crisp on the edges. Splash with soy sauce or liquid aminos, cook 1 minute more and set aside.
  • For a less chunky soup texture, you may use an immersion blender and pulse a few times to get the consistency you prefer.
  • Add the remainder of the ingredients to the soup and simmer until spinach is wilted, about 1 minute more. Divvy into bowls and top with sauteed faux chicken, lime slices, avocado, more cilantro and tortilla strips.

Notes

Feel free to add more taco seasoning if you like it spicier or saltier. You can also add a little cayenne to up the heat or add fresh jalapeno to saute with the onions in step 1.
