This is a sponsored post by Hunt’s tomatoes. All opinions are our own. It is cold outside, but not in our kitchen. We have been cooking up warm and comforting meals to keep us warm during the freezing winter months. One of our favorite meals is this Slow Cooker Black Bean Tortilla Soup. I love this soup because it is comfort food in a bowl, but is still New Years resolutions friendly. This healthy soup will fill you up and warm you up!
I also love this soup because it is made in the slow cooker. It only takes minutes to prepare and then the crockpot does the rest of the work. The soup simmers away while you go about your busy day! When you are ready to eat, it will be hot and ready.
This easy tortilla soup is made with black beans, bell peppers, onion, garlic, corn, lime, cilantro, Hunt’s Diced Tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, and vegetable broth. I like to use Hunt’s Fire Roasted Tomatoes because they are gently roasted over an open fire for a great smoky, Southwestern flavor. They are 100% natural with no artificial preservatives or ingredients, and deliver a fresh-from-the-grill flavor that really enhances the flavor of this soup. Instead of using chemicals, like lye* Hunt’s peels all its diced, whole and stewed tomatoes using steam from simple hot water – the process is called FlashSteam™. This means no chemical by-products get put back into the earth.
Tortilla soup has always been a favorite of mine because I love the soup AND the toppings! I always load my bowl with toppings galore. Avocado slices, fresh cilantro, radish slices, green onions, a little cheese, and tortilla strips. Tortilla strips are a MUST because it is tortilla soup. I always bake the tortilla strips in the oven instead of frying them to keep the soup on the lighter side. They taste just as good and add a nice crunchy, salty topping to the soup. Warm up with a bowl of Slow Cooker Black Bean Tortilla Soup this winter. It will take away all of your winter blues.
