This tortilla soup is a warming, plant-rich meal built around beans, corn, vegetables, and spices that support metabolic and digestive health.
Fiber from beans and corn helps steady blood sugar, while avocado and olive oil support nutrient absorption.
Finished with blue corn chips and fresh toppings, it delivers flavor, texture, and plant diversity in one satisfying bowl.
