    Creamy Chickpea Tortilla soup

    Ingredients

    1 Tbsp oil (15 mL)
    1 medium yellow onion (diced)
    3 cloves garlic (minced)
    1 jalapeno (seeds and ribs removed, finely diced)
    1 1-oz packet taco seasoning
    2 14-oz cans fire-roasted diced tomatoes with green chilies
    2 15-oz cans chickpeas (drained)
    1 15-oz can black beans (drained)
    1 15-oz can corn (drained)
    4 cups vegetable broth (1 L)
    ½ cup cream cheese
    ¼ cup finely chopped cilantro
    1 lime
    4 corn tortillas
    ¼ cup oil (60 mL)
    To serve: shredded Colby jack, cilantro, lime wedges, diced avocado, sour cream

    Directions

    Flavor Base: Heat 1 Tbsp oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add 1 medium yellow onion (diced), 3 cloves garlic, (minced), and 1 jalapeno (diced). Cook until onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.Stir in 1 1-oz packet taco seasoning and cook for 1 more minute.

    Soup: Stir in 2 14-oz cans fire-roasted diced tomatoes with green chilies, 2 15-oz cans chickpeas (drained), 1 15-oz can black beans (drained), 1 15-oz can corn (drained), and 4 cups vegetable broth. Cover and let simmer for at least 15 minutes, up to 45 minutes.

    Tortilla Strips: Meanwhile, cut 4 corn tortillas into thin strips. Heat ¼ cup oil over medium in a heavy-bottomed pan, like a cast iron. Working in batches to not overcrowd the pan, fry the tortilla strips until golden brown and crispy (about 1 minute per side). Remove with metal tongs and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to dry.

    Serve: Right before serving, stir ½ cup cream cheese, ¼ cup finely chopped cilantro, and the juice of 1 lime into the soup, stirring until cream cheese is fully melted.Ladle into bowls, topping with tortilla strips and desired toppings.
