- Stir in the tomatoes, beans, broth, cumin, paprika, chili powder, oregano, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for 15–20 minutes.
- Stir in lime juice and ground pepper. Taste and adjust the seasonings. Add more salt, as needed. Serve soup with crispy tortilla strips and your favorite toppings. We love avocado, cilantro, green onion, and vegan sour cream.
