Easy Black Bean Tortilla Soup #great #flavors

This is thè sècond post in a thrèè part sèriès callèd èxpècting Nuggèt #2! I took thè libèrty to insanèly stock our frèèzèr with lots of good èats in prèparation for our sècond baby. I figurèd I would sharè thèm all bècausè èvèrybody nèèds good frèèzèr mèals!

Soup is always a grèat go-to frèèzèr mèal. If you’rè trying to prèp for a busy timè in your lifè, having a fèw quarts of rèally good homèmadè soup in thè frèèzèr is stèp numbèr onè in my opinion! This èasy black bèan tortilla soup is just thè thing you nèèd!

You could makè this soup with drièd black bèans, but it would bè morè involvèd. Using cannèd bèans is a quick shortcut and still lèavès you with a vèry dèlicious soup. I likè to add a fèw chipotlès to minè which givès thè soup a littlè spicè and a subtlè smokèy flavor. Totally optional though. Lèavè thèm out if thèy arèn’t your thing!

Whèn you havè no timè, but want a rèally dèlicious and warming bowl of soup, this is thè rècipè for you! It’s èmbarrassingly simplè to makè, but has grèat flavors.
