This speedy vegan Southwestern soup is full of end-of-summer goodies – tomatoes, peppers, corn, and beans. It makes a great healthy weeknight meal.
It’s been extra chilly and damp here lately. By the end of June it’s usually stinking hot and I just want to eat salad every day. Let’s have soup instead!
This vegan southwestern style soup is cozy without being heavy. I made mine un-vegan by adding dairy cheese and greek yoghurt, but you could easily use Daiya and a vegan version of sour cream if you want that extra creaminess.
