Despite the lack of meat in the dish, the soup turns out to be fragrant and thick, but also quite spicy, so the amount of chili can be adjusted to your liking. And, of course, this soup will turn out to be even richer if you cook its non-fasting version - in meat broth.

To prepare lean Mexican tomato soup, you do not need to defrost corn, put canned beans on a sieve and rinse with cold water (no liquid is needed). The soup broth can be used at home, or you can dissolve the bouillon cube in proportions in water.

Finely chop the garlic, heat the vegetable oil in a deep saucepan, spread the garlic and sauté for no more than 1 minute. Then add a can of chopped canned tomatoes. Mix everything and bring to a boil. At this stage, it is advisable to try the tomato-garlic mass. If the canned tomatoes are too sour, add 1/2 teaspoon of sugar (or to taste).

Then add ground chilli, frozen corn to a saucepan, pour in tomato juice and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil again and cook for 10 minutes, covering the saucepan with a lid.

While the soup is boiling, dry the tortilla cakes in a preheated oven until crisp.

Add the washed beans to the stewpan to the soup, salt to taste, bring the soup to a boil again and remove from heat. Let it brew under the lid for 10-15 minutes.

Pour the lean Mexican tomato soup into portioned plates or bowls, sprinkle with herbs and, if desired, add freshly squeezed lemon juice. Serve hot soup with crispy tortilla pieces.

Bon appetit and light Fasting!
