¡Hola chispas de chocolate!
Do you like Mexican Food? As a little girl, I hated it! Even after we moved to Texas, the home of Tex-Mex cuisine, I still loathed tacos, fajitas, and guacamole. Don’t get me started on jalapeños. And I don’t think I’d eaten an enchilada in my entire life!
However, tastes change, and perhaps Texas is wearing off on me? Now I suddenly find myself craving such Mexican staples as tacos, guacamole, refried beans, salsa, or the following recipe: Tortilla Soup!
Mexican Hat Dance Soup
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 can corn (unsweetened, but with salt), drained
- 1 can tomatoes with green chilies (or 1 can tomatoes + 1 small can green chilies)
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 to 2 cups veggies (I like 2 cups raw zucchini. Or try frozen peas and carrots)
- Optional: tortilla chips, vegan sour cream, beans
Put everything except optional beans and sour cream in a pot and bring to a boil. Then turn down to low and cook until the veggies are soft. (About an hour and a 1/2, if using zucchini.) You don’t have to watch this as it cooks, so really it only takes about 3 minutes to make!
Obviously, seeing as it’s tortilla soup, you’re supposed to eat this with tortilla chips crushed on top. But I’d rather eat it alongside a warm, gooey English muffin.
I love Mexican food about once a month, other than that I want my Thai, Indian, or Japanese food!!!
First of all, I dig your spanish at the beginning of the post. 🙂 Second of all, I share the same (not so much dislike but) distaste with Mexican food/ I’ve never really been completely in love with the cuisine! (Those Coconut Kale Enchiladas look amazingly yummy though! When I visit Texas, that’s the first thing I’m going to eat! 😉 ) Third of all, (is that even a saying?) I love this idea for tortilla soup!! It looks incredibly easy and delicious! And although guacamole isn’t my FAVORITE thing, I’ll still eat it if it’s mixed all together in rice, beans, and sauteed veggies. 🙂 Happy day!! Hahaha!

No no, when you visit Texas, come visit ME first! (Then we can go together to get the enchiladas hehe)
Ahahahaha! I will definitely do that! 😀 yay!
I love Mexican food! I often request Mexican food on my birthday every year:) Man, I love me some guac…
Yay I love this!! So easy and looks Yum-O!
I love Mexican food! Guac and tamales and enchiladas and burritos and salsa… yes please! 🙂
This soup was delicious! I just made it and devoured it. Those enchiladas look amazing too. Anything coconut sounds amazing to me though. I haven’t had enchiladas in a looong time but I would love to try raw vegan ones, whether they taste similar or not.
I absolutely LOVE tortilla soup! And those kale enchiladas look almost to beautiful to eat!
I agree! I *almost* couldn’t bring myself to eat them… until I tried one bite. Then it was like, “Eh, who cares if they’re pretty and I’m consuming art?!” 😉
Cooking this right now! I added bell peppers and plan on throwing in some black beans at the end. It already smells sooooo good! Waiting 1.5 hours is going to be hard!
Oh yum, I love your idea to add bell peppers. That could only make it better! I hope you liked it!!
Hey! I have nearly all the ingredients for this including some leftover cabbage! 🙂 Guess this will be dinner tomorrow. But possibly with more than just 2 cups of veggies cuuus…I like veggies lol
Oh, Katie…thanks so much for this! I am at home along tonight and have very little food in my house and was trying to figure out what the heck to make that was going to be filling and healthy. This is PERFECT! And I can just whip up a scratch taco seasoning mix in a pinch. I think I’ll have this with polenta…
Thank you so much for trying it!
Do you live in Dallas? I just saw the website for the cafe in Dallas! I live in Dallas to!! I love this site just found it a few weeks ago and have made several things and my family loves it! Thank you for your creative healthy cooking! I cut out sugar in January and have been eating vegan for about 3 months! So this is perfect. My Husband and I’s aniversery is Tomarrow! I think we will have to go to the Bliss Raw Cafe for dinner!
Thank you!! Love the Recipies!!!
Haven’t made this in awhile, but the weather has cooled off and it’s going to be dinner tonight. I love this.
To be honest I cannot fathom anyone not liking Mexican food. ?? I grew up in Southern California with awesome Mexican food. Will try this soon!
Do you have the nutritional information for this soup?
