Instructions
- In a large pot, heat 2 tbsp oil over medium heat. When the pot is hot, add onion and peppers. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 min, stirring occasionally, until tender.
- Add chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, oregano and smoked paprika. Cook for another 1-2 min, until fragrant and spices are toasted.
- Add corn kernels, sweet potatoes, beans, diced tomatoes, enchilada sauce, diced green chili and vegetable stock (or water). Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 16-20 min, until slightly reduced, veggies are tender and flavours combine.
- Optional for a Creamy Soup: Ladle about 2 scoops of the soup into a blender and process until smooth and creamy. Pour back into the pot and stir to combine.
- Stir in nutritional yeast, lime juice and cilantro, if using. Season soup with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Divide soup between bowls. Top with your favorite toppings like cilantro, green onions, toasted pumpkin seeds and crumbled tortilla chips.
