Vegetarian Tortilla Soup with Avocado Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: More Soup Recipes. (Vegetarian Tortilla Soup with Avocado Recipe). One thing I've missed in the years of my being vegetarian is the delicious tortilla soup a local Mexican restaurant makes. I've finally mastered my vegetarian version, that can easily be vegan if the cheese isn't added at the end. My omnivore boyfriend thinks it's divine! Black beans can be added for extra protein.
