Green Chile Posole Soup

You can never go wrong with a nourishing, flavorful soup that will satisfy your taste buds. This delicious Green Chile Posole Soup is the perfect dish for lunch or dinner and can be easily whipped up in no time. You can make a large pot in the beginning of the week and use it as meal prep to save you time. The convenience, versatility, and affordability of this recipe (due to its use of canned tomatoes) makes it ideal for just about anyone, especially those with a busy schedule who are looking for an easy, healthy recipe.

Canned tomato ingredients are nutrient-packed and contain a ton of flavors that pair well with other vegetables along with your choice of proteins, grains, and seasonings. In fact, canned tomatoes have even MORE nutritional value than fresh tomatoes, providing a powerful impact on human health. The lycopene content found in canned tomatoes allows this ingredient to be one of the most useful, healthy additions to just about any meal. For this dish specifically, the combination of spicy and zesty makes it one that you don’t want to miss out on. The sauteed vegetables stirred into a delicious chicken broth with lime juice, fresh cilantro, and tortilla chips delivers a novel twist to traditional vegetable soup. The grains and vegetables incorporated into this soup provide you with a balanced meal containing a ton of vitamins and minerals that will give you the energy you need to get through the day. Since these ingredients are all stirred into one pot, this allows you to sneak in some vegetables for kids or adults in your family who have a hard time eating healthy foods—they won’t even taste the vegetables!

Nothing soothes the soul more than a bowl of classic tomato soup. And it’s even better when you make it yourself, such as in this plant-based, vegan recipe. It’s so easy! With only 5 ingredients (other than pantry staples), you can whip up this old-fashioned tomato soup recipe in no time.

Best of all, the ingredients for this recipe are easy to keep on hand, such as onions, canned tomatoes, vegetable broth, and dried herbs, making it a go-to recipe to whip up any night of the week. You can let it gently simmer while you’re getting the rest of your meal together. And when it’s all done, pack away leftovers to heat up at work the next day, or to pack in your kids’ lunch boxes. I love this recipe served with a simple sandwich, such as this Greek Chickpea Sandwich recipe, or a hearty salad, such as this Mandarin Quinoa Kale Bowl.

This vegan tomato soup is rich in the hearty flavors of tomatoes, which are packed with fiber, vitamin C, and lycopene—an antioxidant compound with cancer-fighting properties, as well as heart-health activity. It’s a good idea to try to fit healthy tomatoes into your diet at least a few times per week. So, get that soup pot out and cook up this recipe.
