Ingredients for 3-Ingredient Vegan Enchilada Soup

The soup is made from three humble ingredients:

1. crushed tomatoes,
2. canned black beans
3. red enchilada sauce

Red enchilada sauce is the powerhouse ingredient in the recipe. It is made from ground red chiles, garlic, onion, spices, and a bit of vinegar. It also has a lot of salt, so  to keep the sodium under control, select canned beans and tomatoes that are low-sodium or no-salt added.

How to Make Vegan Enchilada Soup

Simmer the enchilada sauce and tomatoes for 5 to 8 minutes to blend the flavors and thicken slightly.

Add the rinsed and drained and beans and simmer on low heat for several more minutes to heat through.  That’s it!

Have fun with the toppings, or consider adding more spice (e.g., a splash of hot sauce, a pinch of cumin) to make the soup your own. You’ve got this!
