Oh January, what is there to say about the first month of this year. It's been cold, like really cold. Like...too cold to do anything, but you must do something because #2018goals. I'm not one to say, “I don't make new year’s resolutions." I use the New Year to make plans, reach milestones and overall improve. One of my major goals for this year is to finally put in the effort to have one of those bodies that make everyone in the crowd wonder if you’re Photoshopped in person. With that said, I've been sticking to a super healthy, meal planned, boring salad and smoothie type of diet. This isn’t very blog friendly! However it is "veganuary," and I can't let the opportunity slip away. If you're trying to look like a fox, and eat vegan, I'd recommend SUPA SOUP! This soup is so super, because it's packed with protein. You can really watch your macros with this one. So, here we go.
INGREDIENTS:
Black Beans
Pinto Beans
Tomatoes
Celery
Broccoli
Mushrooms
Quinoa
Green Onion
Tortilla Chips (for garnish)
RECIPE:
So, I pretty much just throw the onions in the pot with a tiny bit of olive oil. Let them brown. Next, I toss in all the other ingredients and fill the pot with water. If you're using canned ingredients I supposed you could use the fluid from the cans, but I didn't do that. Also if you are not using canned beans, you'll want to soak the beans for a few hours prior to cooking. Moving on… you want to let the pot of soup boil a bit on medium heat. Then, turn the heat down to low, cover the pot with a lid and let simmer. I add paprika, nutritional yeast, kosher salt, pepper, chili peppers, hot sauce and garlic powder to season. After you let the soup simmer for about 25 minutes, let cool off and enjoy!
