Ingredients for vegan sweet potato tortilla soup
- Sweet potatoes: two medium sized sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped into cubes.
- Sweetcorn: tinned sweetcorn, with the water drained out.
- Onion: I used a white onion but use whatever you have at home.
- Garlic cloves: grating the garlic gives it a stronger taste!
- Tinned tomatoes: I used chopped tinned tomatoes, but if you only have a tin of whole tomatoes, use that just mash it up slightly/ pulse it with a blender before using.
- Chipotle paste: I use around 1 tbsp but if you find the chiptole paste you have at home too spciy either reduce the amount of chipotle paste or chilli powder.
- The spices: chilli powder, cayenne powder, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt and black pepper.
- Toppings: tortilla chips, green onions, avocado, fresh coriander, vegan cheese.
How to make the very best veggie tortilla soup
Start with heating up oil in a deep pan/pot. Add in the onions and cook until translucent. Add the grated garlic, all the spices and chipotle paste. Mix to combine, then cook for 1-2 minutes.
Add in the chopped tomatoes, mix and cook for 5-7 minutes. Mix in the sweet potatoes drained sweetcorn and freshly chopped coriander. Cook for 2-4 minutes. Pour in the veggie stock water, bring to a boil then back down to a simmer. Cover pan with a lid and cook for 25-30 minutes or until the sweet potato is cooked.
Serve with tortilla chips, avocado, thinly sliced vegan cheese, spring onions, lime juice and zest.
Tips on making this recipe perfectly
- cut the sweet potatoes into same sized chunks – this will ensure they all need the same cooking time!
- don’t overcook this tortilla soup – as soon as the potatoes are done cooking and are fork tender, remove from heat and serve.
- only serve with tortilla chips just before serving to prevent them from loosing their crunch.
Store-bought vs Home-made tortilla chips
I’ve tested this recipe with both, and I can honestly say it doesn’t make a massive difference. The only thing I’d advise if you want to buy the tortilla chips is to try and find a low-salt one, if not reduce the amount of salt you use in the soup!
How to store this vegan soup
Store in a bowl with a lid or an air tight container in the fridge for up to a week!

We eat Mexican so often, but I never put sweet potatoes in our dishes and I know my husband loves them, so I’ll give it a try next time. Also, we have chipotle paste in the fridge and I always forget to use it! But, I can see how good that would be.
