My sister shared this recipe for vegetarian tortilla soup using whole wheat berries with me several years ago. I was very skeptical at first. I had used whole wheat kernels to grind into fresh wheat flour and always have several hundred pounds of whole wheat stored in my basement….but I had never considered eating the wheat whole.
Until I tried this soup.
It’s hearty, healthy, and tasty…and so easy to make. If you’ve never tried whole wheat berries before, you must try this soup.
Vegetarian Wheat Berry Tortilla Soup
- ½ cup whole wheat berries (kernels)
- 2 cups water
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 2 cups water
- 1 heaping Tablespoon tomato bouillon (or bouillon of your choice)
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ¼ teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic
- ½ onion, finely chopped
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 1 can corn, drained
- 1 can black beans, drained
- 1 can kidney beans, drained
- In a large pot, add wheat and garlic salt to water; bring to boil. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
- Add additional ingredients to pot. Simmer until heated through. Adjust spices to taste, if necessary.
- Serve with crushed tortilla chips, shredded cheese, sour cream, etc.
Can you see how loaded this soup is?

Hi there! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any trouble with hackers?
My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing months of hard work due to no data backup.
Do you have any methods to prevent hackers?
