- 1 cup onion, chopped (can sub celery)
- 2 bell peppers, chopped
- 1 zucchini, chopped
- 1 cup corn
- 28oz can crushed tomatoes

- Spice Blend: 3tbsp cumin + 1 1/2 tsp salt + 1/2 tsp pepper + 1/4 tsp red chili flakes
- Optional toppings: fresh lime juice, dairy-free cheese, tortilla chips, avocado, cilantro.
Instructions
- Chop the garlic and let rest* for 5-10 minutes. Put a large pot on the oven and heat to low/medium and chop the jalapeno and onion. After the garlic has rested for about 5-10 minutes, add it along with the chopped jalapeno and onion into the pot. Sauté for about 3-5 minutes, stirring often.
- Meanwhile, chop the celery, bell peppers, and zucchini. Add with corn into the pot and sauté for another 5 minutes.
- Now add in the crushed tomatoes, broth, green chilis, black beans, and cumin. Simmer on low-medium heat for 15-20 minutes.
- Once the soup has simmered, add cilantro, salt, pepper, and red chili flakes. Serve with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Letting garlic "rest" simply means waiting to cook it, so that all of the good enzymes can activate and boost its wonderful properties. If you cook garlic too soon, you could miss out on some of its amazing health benefits.
- Can be frozen for 1 month.
