This soup is healthy and delicious all in one comforting bowl. It’s also vegan and gluten-free!
My name is Lauren and I eat soups all year long.
There I said it. Yes, some people think it’s strange to eat a bowl of hot soup when it’s 80 degrees out. Not me. Bring it on! I prefer soup with vegetables in there. Lots and lots of vegetables. Add some pasta, rice or quinoa and I am even happier. And I don’t like when my soups are too thick and creamy. Did I mention that I was a really picky eater?
All of a sudden it just got really cold. Like crazy, windy, 40-50 degrees cold. This is where my obsession with soup comes in handy. Now people won’t think I am crazy for making soup all the time. And they even want some of my soup. I’ll share (a little) sometimes.

I am in love with these Trader Joe’s Organic Tortilla Chips. Please ignore the blurry picture, I let my 5 year old take it. I figured it was just a picture of a bag of chips, how bad could the picture come out? THIS is how bad…
But you get the idea. They are delicious. I love that they are organic and have quinoa and chia seeds in them. And they taste extra delicious with this soup! Hope you enjoy the soup too!
I eat soups year round also and LOVE IT. This taco soup sounds like something I want to curl up with tonight. It is SO COLD here now!
Doesn’t it feel like it got cold all of a sudden Joanne? Perfect for my soup obsession! 🙂
I am in the same boat! Soup all day, everyday! And this soup sounds delicious!!
Good taste Meg! 😉
Love this soup, that it is vegan and gluten free is a huge bonus. Pinning now!
Thank you so much Amy!
Yummy! I wish more places had veggie friendly taco soups. I see them on menus all the time but I can’t have any of them because they all have chicken!
I completely agree Genevieve! 🙂
This looks so hearty and comforting. Although I’m an equal opportunity soup-love. I like the thick, creamy ones too, but mainly when they are thick and creamy from pureed veggies, and not super rich and heavy.
Ha! I love it Brianne!! You’re so diplomatic! 🙂
