Dr. Sharon's Mexican Chip and Salsa Vegetarian Soup




In October I was blessed to cater a retreat in Lake Arrowhead for 2 weeks. The Teacher was the multi-talented Healer, Mama Sharon, who shared this delicious recipe with me.

Doctor Sharon has been a healer since the age of 5, and has spent the last 30+ years teaching natural healing and mind-body medicine worldwide.


Without further ado, the recipe.

Serves: 4

Ingredients:
3.5 c veg broth
2-15 ounce cans of black or pinto beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 c green onion, chopped
3 c mild salsa
1/2 tbsp green chilies, diced and canned (add more for hotter soup)
1 c fresh or frozen corn kernels
1/4 c cilantro
1/4 c garlic, chopped
1/4 tsp Spike spice mix
1/4 tsp Trader Joe's 21 Salute
Juice of 1 lime
2 c tortilla chips, broken into bite sized pieces
1 c avocado chunks
1/2 c queso fresco or Havarti cheese


Instructions:
1. Place broth, beans, salsa, corn, green onions, garlic, spices and chilies in a Crock-Pot.

2. Cook on low for 5 hours to blend flavors, or high for 2.5 hours.

3. Place half a cup of chips and 1/4 c of avocado and 1/4 c cheese into each of the 4 bowls.

4. Ladle soup over avocado, chips and cheese. Serve immediately.

Vegan version - skip the cheese.

Let me know if you make this, and if you change anything. I'm notorious for changing recipes!

Enjoy!
