This vegetarian enchilada soup has “comfort food” written all over it. It’s a great recipe for the busy holiday season since you cook up a big pot of this one afternoon and then have a couple of meals out of it. (Depending on your family size!)
This soup comes together quick thanks to a few pantry staples like beans, frozen or canned corn, canned tomatoes, and store bought enchilada sauce. Also, thanks to all those vegetables and beans this soup is filling enough to be a hearty meal. (Especially once you add all the toppings!)
This vegetarian enchilada soup is actually vegan too, but I used vegetarian in the title since I like to top it with cheddar cheese and sour cream… 😉 You can totally use the vegan versions of both of those toppings to keep it veg-friendly.
You’ll also want to stir in some corn tortillas that have been cut into strips just before serving so you have all the elements of an enchilada included. I just layered them into the bottom of my serving bowls so that as you eat the soup, the tortillas will soften. Mmm!
I can’t wait to make this on repeat this winter because it is the perfect spicy hot bowl of soup for curling up with on the couch on cold days.
