Tortilla Lime Soup (Vegan)
by michaelswarm
This Mexican-Central American soup gets zest from fresh lime juice and fresh cilantro. I make this with refried beans or rice and beans, since both use a common onion celery base, and the soup uses a cup of refried beans. I avoid packaged stock, which usually has the wrong base flavors and spices. Instead, I use my own vegetable base and add ground whole spices.
