Erin Riley-Carrasco, PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals)’s Sexiest Vegan Over 50 and her Alma Rescue Foundation co-founder Suzie Williamson make a delicious, vegan version of a traditional Mexican tortilla soup called Caldo de Refri, a soup she makes in her hometown of Vizcaino, Baja. ENJOY!

 

This Baja inspired mexican vegan soup, Calso de Refri, is an abundance of spicy goodness packed with plant based protein! Erin Riley-Carrasco and her ALMA Rescue Co-Founder Suzie Williamson just returned from Baja with 8 rescued dogs and made this soup at Suzie’s house in Vizcaino, Baja. Calso de Refri means “refrigerator soup” and it means taking whatever you have in your fridge and combining in a big stockpot and simmering for 30 minutes. It’s a very filling soup, super easy to make and absolutely delicious!! ENJOY! #vegan #mexicanveganfood #veganfoodshare #proteinpacked #crueltyfree #veganinspiration #comfortfood #letseatvegan #healthyandvegan #saturdaysnackdown #janeunchained #veganin2019
