Today I have a lentil tortilla soup recipe that is perfect for a chilly day. The beautiful thing about this soup is that you can make it from start to finish in 20 minutes, making it a perfect weeknight dinner. And with the flavorful blend of lentils, black beans, tomatoes, corn – all topped with crushed tortilla chips, green onion and sour cream – you won’t be disappointed.

I’m a big fan of soups because they’re an easy way to load up on vegetables and beans that are inexpensive. Beans are an excellent source of protein, and we’re using two different types today: black beans and lentils. To keep things simple, I used canned beans, canned tomatoes, and frozen corn.

To make the soup all you need to do is chop up 1/2 a red onion and cook for 1 minute along with fresh garlic. Then toss in in the lentils, black beans, frozen corn, diced tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, broth, and spices.

The key to a flavorful soup is to serve with fresh toppings: crushed tortilla chips, grated cheese, full-fat sour cream, plain greek yogurt, sliced jalapeno, and fresh chopped cilantro. If you’re making this recipe for your family, have these fresh toppings in bowls on the side – that way everyone can choose their favorites.
