Have you been on Qdoba’s website lately? It has this incredible-looking Loaded Tortilla Soup on it. Immediately, I’m asking if it is vegan. If you’re here, I assume you are as well.
To preface, Qdoba’s Loaded Tortilla Soup is a limited-time menu item so please double-check with your location to see if they have it prior to ordering. As of January 2024, it is on the menu.
Qdoba states that their loaded tortilla soup is made with, “veggie broth flavored with roasted tomatoes, peppers, onions and spices with your choice of protein and toppings in a crunchy tortilla shell or bowl.
Is Qdoba’s Tortilla Soup Vegan?
The first question we have is if the tortilla soup is even vegan-friendly. The description, “veggie broth flavored…” makes it sound possible.
Is Qdoba’s Tortilla Soup vegan? Yes, it is! According to Qdoba’s dietary preference sheet
, last updated 10.10.23, the tortilla soup is vegan. And after trying it, I have to mention, it is delicious–highly recommend it.
With now learning that the soup is a vegan option, let me share with you how to order your Tortilla Soup vegan and loaded.
How To Order Qdoba’s Loaded Tortilla Soup Vegan
When ordering Qdoba’s Loaded Tortilla Soup, you get to choose how you want it served and what you want in it. Here are the steps to how to order your soup.
1. Order a Vegetarian Loaded Tortilla Soup.
This tells Qdoba that you are ordering the menu item called, “Create Your Own Loaded Tortilla Soup.” And that you want it to be “vegetarian/no protein.”
As vegans, we know that there is protein in this soup–don’t let the “no protein” trip you up.
2. Next, choose if you want it to be served in a Bowl or in a Crispy Tortilla Shell.
A crispy tortilla shell is like a taco salad shell–the big one that holds all of your food. If you choose a bowl, you will start with the soup then your fillings and toppings will be added. In the toppings, there is a Crispy Tortilla Stips option that could still give you some crunch without the entire tortilla shell.
3. Add Rice and/or Beans.
You can order one type of rice and one type of bean or ask for 1/2 and 1/2.
- Cilantro Lime Rice
- Seasoned Brown Rice
- Black Beans
- Pinto Beans
4. Top it with your salsa and/or dressing.
You can choose 3:
- Roasted Tomato Salsa (mild)
- Fresh Pico De Gallo (mild)
- Chile Corn Salsa (mild)
- Citrus Lime Vinaigrette
- Salsa Verde (medium)
- Salsa Roja (hot)
- Fiery Habanero Salsa (hot)
5. Order with NO queso.
Queso is the next option they will ask you to top it with. Let them know you do not want any.
And lastly, choose your toppings! Pick up to 6:
- Guacamole
- Pickled Onions
- Pickled Jalapenos
- Fajita Veggies
- Lettuce
- Crispy Tortilla Strips
- Cilantro
Simple As That…
We love that Qdoba chose this incredible vegan-friendly tortilla soup so that we can order the entire Loaded Tortilla Soup vegan and plant-based.
