Black Bean Tortilla Soup (Slow Cooker)

By Thom7747

An easy vegetarian version of tortilla soup. I'm writing it here in its basic, mild form, but you can turn up the heat by adding tabasco, using a hot enchilada sauce, or throwing in some diced jalapeno or chipotle.

Ingredients

• 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilies
• 8 ounces enchilada sauce
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 4 cups vegetable broth or 4 cups mock chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 10 ounces frozen corn
• 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
• 5 corn tortillas
