There is nothing better than a warm bowl of soup after a long cold, dreary winter day. Not that bland stuff that comes from a can but, a hearty homemade soup. This spicy vegan southwestern soup is just that a hearty, easy to make homemade soup to enjoy during those cold winter nights. I have been making this soup at least once a week for the last couple of months because of how unusually cold this winter has been.  On days when I have to leave my warm home to run errands, I look forward to returning home to enjoy a warm bowl of soup.
