- 1 cup corn fresh, canned or frozen
- 1 teaspoon adobo sauce

- 1 teaspoon salt to taste, fine sea salt

Tortilla Strips
- 8 corn tortillas 6", yellow or white
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- chili powder garlic powder and sea salt, as desired
Toppings
- tortilla strips
- avocado

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375ºF for tortilla strips.
- Sauté: In a large pot over medium heat, add oil, onion and garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes, until fragrant. Add in chili powder and cumin, cooking for another 3 minutes.
- Simmer: Add in crushed tomatoes, black beans, garbanzo beans, corn, adobo sauce, vegetable broth and salt. Bring to a low boil then reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes. Add in lime juice and fresh cilantro, taste test for more salt and heat.
- Tortilla Strips: While the soup is simmering, make the tortilla strips. Brush both sides of the tortillas with oil using a pastry brush. On a cutting board using a pizza cutter (or sharp knife) cut tortillas into thin strips. Place on large baking sheet, leaving room between each strip, and sprinkle with salt, chili powder and garlic powder (or choose your favorite seasonings, or just use salt). Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly browned and crispy looking. Remove from oven and cool.
- Serve: Serve soup with a pile of tortilla strips and favorite toppings such as avocado, cheese, sliced radishes. Enjoy!
Notes
- Note: My photos show regular diced fire roasted tomatoes, but I prefer the thicker texture of the crushed. If you like brothy soup, you can use regular diced. You can also add 3 ounces tomato paste for more tomato flavor.
