Spicy Black Bean Tortilla Soup

Apple Cake

This delectable Apple Cake has a slightly crunchy crust and a soft moist center that is loaded with chunks of sweet apple and pecans. It is perfectly spiced with cinnamon, ground cloves and nutmeg. It is lightly drizzled with an easy four ingredient caramel sauce. I make this cake several times each fall for bake sales, potlucks and family and friend get-togethers.

Easy Ratatouille

This easy ratatouille recipe is a classic summer French stew filled with vibrant, colourful and nutritious vegetables: tomatoes, zucchini and eggplant. It is a low-carb, gluten-free and vegan dish that can be made in one pan and served atop greens or grains, as a side to a main entrée, or all on its own.

I made this soup as the recipe reads and it was wonderful! I was a little worried about the clove and cinnamon but was pleasantly surprised by the depth of flavor this touch added. Topped with Sour Cream/Cilantro/ and Shredded Cheese-YUMMY! Thanks!

MMMM. Delicious!
I nixed the cilantro and cloves, simply because I didn’t have any. I also added extra spices (each one except cloves) and dumped the entire mixture in…made for deliciously seasoned soup!
Even my kids who are 1 & 2 1/2 gobbled it up…you know that’s a recipe to keep!

Also made my own tortilla chips:
Yellow corn tortillas cut into 8ths, put on buttered cookie sheet, drizzle olive oil, sprinkle sea salt and bake at 350 for 10 min, flip for another 10 min.

SOO GOOD!

Very good recipe and fairly easy too. Now what shall I use the remaining Mexican spice for?

Loved most everything about this–especially that it was quick. I didn’t use the cloves or cinnamon (wasn’t sure how that would taste). I think next time I will use less oregano and maybe a little less broth as I like my soups fairly thick. Thanks for a great veggie soup!
