Every Wednesday, I have class until 7:59:59PM at the earliest, and it never fails that I'm starving halfway through, and needing something to eat. Often, this results into the ordering of dinner, which then leads to me eating something that I'm not super jazzed about eating, which leaves me feeling blah.
Today, I made the decision ahead of time to make some chili/soup to have when I got home from school, so I brought out the crockpot and added...
1 large onion, chopped
1 package "chicken style" seitan, chopped into bite sized pieces
1 can pinto beans (drained)
1 can black beans (drained)
1 small can (6oz?) chopped green chilis
1 8oz (smallish) can of enchilada sauce
1 regular (8oz?) can of diced tomatoes (mine were no salt added)
1 bag Trader Joes fire roasted peppers and onions (added in frozen)
1/2 bag Trader Joes fire roasted corn (added in frozen)
Spices - I never measure them... so use according to your own taste!
Chopped garlic - we always keep a jar of chopped garlic in the fridge, I think I threw in 2-3 tbsp.
Cumin - 1 tbsp
Chili powder - 1-2 tbsp.
Cook the onion in the crock pot for a few minutes, then add everything else. Cook on high for 1 hour, then lower to low. Then go to class. Come home to a delicious soup.
** We had some extra cashew cream (cashews pureed in just enough water to make a sour cream consistency), so we eat put a dollop of that on top.
Awesome.
Husband approved!
