Raw Tortilla Soup

So I feel a little hypocritical posting on this blog because I'm not vegan. But I do try to cook healthier meals and certainly like to throw in a vegan meal here and there. This recipe is adapted from the vita-mix cook book. It is so fast and easy to make, and is a yummy way for me to eat lots of raw vegetables. It's also adaptable, I've thrown in zuchinni, red and green peppers and some salsa before too.

Ingredients:

1 carrot

1 celery stalk
1 roma tomato
1 gr. onion
1 garlic clove
1/2 yellow squash
1/3 serrano chili OR 1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
2 cups hot vegetable broth
1 tsp. taco seasoning
1/2 cup cooked black beans
1/2 cup corn
handful of tortilla chips

Blend first nine ingredients at high speed in Vita-mix (or any good blender) for two minutes or until liquified. Add black beans, corn, and tortilla chips and mix for 10 seconds or less on lowest setting. Serve right away with more tortilla chips.
