Servings 4 people
Calories 371kcal

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons organic canola or olive oil, divided
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 4 cups chopped cabbage
  • 1/2 cup chopped carrots
  • 1/2 cup chopped green pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 (28-ounce) can cooked, chopped tomatoes with juice
  • 1 cup cooked black beans, drained
  • 8 corn tortillas cut in 1/2-inch slices
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 avocado, peeled, halved and cut lengthwise in strips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°. In a large stockpot, heat 1 tablespoon oil and add the onion. Cook until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Add cabbage, carrots and green pepper (and more oil if necessary) and cook until cabbage starts to soften, about 3 minutes more. Stir in oregano, cumin, chicken broth and tomatoes with juice. Bring to a boil; then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes. To avoid turning the soup too dark, add the black beans during the last few minute sof simmering time.
  • While the soup is simmering, place the corn tortilla strips on a baking sheet. Toss with remaining 2 teaspoons oil and sprinkle with salt. Bake for 7-10 minutes until golden brown.
  • Serve soup garnished with avocado slices and tortilla strips.
