Happy Monday friends! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. First of all, I would like to apologize for the late post…I had such a crazy hectic weekend, that I didn't get to post last night. I promise this recipe will make up for being late. This recipe is one of my all time go to favs that is perfect for the freezing temps. If the weather is as crazy where you are as it is here, you will definitely enjoy this soup as much as we do!
Ingredients:
1 cup Southwest Mixed Bean Soup (found at Whole Foods) or your favorite soup mix*
1/2 cup chopped carrots
1/2 cup organic chopped celery
1 tsp EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) + 2 sprays Pam cooking spray
2-3 TBSP hot sauce (I used Cholula brand)
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp taco seasoning
1/2 cup Bob's Red Mill TVP for additional protein** (optional)
1/4 tsp paprika
1 small can (14.5 oz) fire roasted diced tomatoes (I used Muir Glen Brand found in the organic isle)#
1 bay leaf
Seasoned salt (click here & scroll to the bottom of the page for recipe)
Cilantro, cheese, &/or sour cream, & avocado for garnishing
Directions:
1. Soak beans in water overnight.
2. Heat oil in a pressure cooker (or pot) over medium to low heat & bay leaf.
3. Add carrots, celery, & spray with two sprays of Pam (just enough to lightly coat all of the veggies).
4. Cook for roughly 3-4 minutes or until the water has burned off and the veggies are tender.
5. Add soaked beans with the water into the pressure cooker.
6. Cook for roughly 20-30 minutes in the pressure cooker.
7. Add canned tomatoes, salt, hot sauce, paprika, cumin, and remaining spices.
8. Cook until soup is at a rolling boil, reduce heat, and let it simmer for roughly 10-20 minutes.
9. Rehydrate TVP protein using instructions on the package.
10. Add protein to the soup as it simmers.
11. Garnish with toppings and enjoy!
*If you use a dry soup mix, be sure to add corn & bell peppers in addition to the carrots & celery
**I found TVP protein at Sprouts but I am sure this can also be found at Whole Foods
#You can also use a handful of fresh tomatoes and 1/2 can of V8 hot & spicy juice in place of canned tomatoes
