Vegan Poblano and Black Bean Tortilla Soup
Intro: Vegan Poblano and Black Bean Tortilla Soup
This is a quick and easy soup that is spicy, delicious and vegan! The secret ingredient for a lovely color and flavor is... cocoa powder! This recipe tries to capture the essence of Latin America by utilizing some of the ingredients grown in that area. Give it a try for a warm and satisfying meal on a cold winter night. Please do note that the measurements given are for a small batch of soup. Feel free to double the ingredients for more!

- Measure 1/2 cup of unsalted, canned crushed tomatoes and set aside. If using fresh tomatoes, chop 1 cup of tomatoes into medium pieces
