You can make this healthy soup in the slow cooker when you are not even home!  Plus, you will not heat up the kitchen.  If you prefer to make this on the stove, that is an option too.  Just bring to a boil and then cover, turn down and simmer until everything is soft.  Then just blast it with the immersion blender.

Slow Cooker Tortilla Soup (Vegan, Gluten Free)

My husband LOVES spicy food and he created this Slow Cooker Tortilla Soup.  I am a huge wimp when it comes to all things spicy, so this recipe is all his.

He loved the way it came out too!  It’s also a super cinch to make.  If you love spicy recipes, you should definitely check out his homemade sriracha recipe and also his green curry with chickpeas.

I know traditionally, tortilla soup is made from toasted tortilla strips, but we had some tortilla chips leftover from a party, so we decided to use those.  If you like the strips better, you can use those instead.  Either way is fine.

This recipe literally takes a few minutes to throw everything in the pot, then you just walk away and let it cook.  The house will smell so good too! Next time, we will be sure to try it with my vegan sour cream on top.  Yum!!
