While I\u2019m not vegetarian nor gluten free, I\u2019m always experimenting with those types of recipes and this one-pot healthy and well balanced meal hit the jackpot! It has tons of flavour, lots of texture, and is quick to make even on a weeknight. It\u2019s also fun to eat since it can be served taco style; your family can get creative and pile their bowl high with toppings!<\/p>\n
This soup is low in fat and super nutritious, without compromising on heartiness. You can feel good knowing you\u2019re getting a full dose of protein and fiber from something that tastes so good!<\/p>\n

Ladle soup into bowls. Place the topping ingredients in small bowls and let everyone garnish their own bowls.<\/p>\n
Best soup tips:<\/p>\n
Chipotles in adobo sauce are smoked and dried jalape\u00f1os that are re-hydrated in a sweet and tangy puree of tomato, vinegar, garlic and spices. They come in a small can that\u2019s packed with spicy heat and lots of smoky flavour.<\/p>\n
Look for chipotle peppers in adobo sauce in the Mexican section of your grocer. When you open the tin, finely mince the entire contents (by hand or with a mini food processor). Reserve leftover puree in a small mason jar and store in the refrigerator. You can also freeze small portions of the puree in ice cube trays then remove them and store the cubes in a zipper bag in the freezer.<\/p>\n

I highly recommend making this soup! It makes a healthy light meal that\u2019s full of southwest flavours. You\u2019ll hope for leftovers, so you can pack a serving of the soup for lunch the next day!<\/p>\n
