Making Tasty Meatless Taco Soup is simple and straightforward. Follow these steps to create this delightful dish:

1. Sauté the Vegetables: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent.
2. Add Garlic and Bell Pepper: Stir in the minced garlic and diced bell pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the peppers soften.
3. Incorporate the Corn: Add the corn kernels to the pot, mixing well with the other vegetables.
4. Combine the Tomatoes and Beans: Pour in the diced tomatoes (with their juices) and both cans of beans. Stir to integrate all ingredients.
5. Pour in the Broth: Add the vegetable broth to the pot and stir everything together until combined.
6. Season with Spices: Add the chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to ensure the spices evenly distribute throughout the soup.
7. Bring to a Simmer: Increase the heat to bring the soup to a gentle boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.
8. Taste and Adjust: After simmering, taste the soup. Adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or spices based on desire.
9. Serve Hot: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro and diced avocado.
10. Add Lime: Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing into the soup for an additional layer of flavor.
