A little bit of pozole a little bit of tortilla soup. This delicious healthy soup is packed full of poblano peppers, bell peppers, zucchinis, patty pan squash, hominy, and pinto beans. Plus it’s plant-based and just good clean eating. Top it off with more veggies: some purple cabbage, grilled corn, sliced jalapeño, avocado, cilantro, and vegan feta cheese. It’s sooooooo delicious!

  2. Add a handful of corn, purple cabbage, avocado slices, some jalapeño to your spicy preference, cilantro.
