Jackfruit Moringa Tortilla Soup

Tortilla soup for the win! Always.

When we were in Bali this May, we had food that was always packed with different superfoods, super fresh light vibes and all of the most interesting components. Ever since we’ve been back, I always like to recreate that energy with my recipes and I feel like this recipe nails the that Bali vibe I’m always looking for.

This soup is my take on a classic. There’s something so simple and comforting about tortilla soup that when you put the right things in it - it can take your immunity to the next level while still giving you those mexican vibes.

I used jackfruit in this recipe as jackfruit is one of the best meat replacements out there. You can find it at Trader Joe’s in a can or in the frozen section. Lots of garlic, spices and salsa actually pair perfectly with moringa. Moringa is a superfood powder that comes from a plant. It has antioxidants, the ability to lower blood sugar + cholesterol and has been proven to also reduce inflammation. Superfoods in general are most definitely not a necessity - but when you have a superfood stock up like I do, I love any reason to sneak them in to boost my meal!
