Very Mild Crockpot Vegan Curry Bean Soup
Jan. 22nd, 2013 04:08 pmI've been eating this a lot recently; it's easy and I have yet to get sick of it. It's good with steamed spinach mixed in. Also, if you want to de-veganize it, goat cheese.
2 cups dried beans (any kind(s))
1 onion
1 potato or sweet potato
1 or 2 stems celery
1 large tomato, diced (or 1 can diced tomatoes)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp garam masala
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp ground cumin
1 1/2 tbsp Osem pareve chicken-flavored consomme mix*
3 tbsp oil
1) Run beans over plate/cutting board to check for stones. Rinse beans in colander. Place in crockpot, cover with four cups water, set to high.
2) Peel and dice potato, slice celery, add to crockpot.
3) Put consomme powder in heatproof measuring cup. Boil water, pour 1 cup worth into cup, stir in. Add to crockpot.
4) Dice onion.
5) Heat oil in frying pan on medium. When heated, add garlic, then onion, then garam masala, turmeric, and cumin. Sautee until onion is translucent, then add to crockpot.
6) Add enough water to completely cover all ingredients with room to spare as it cooks down. Allow to cook for at least four hours or until beans are cooked through. If cooking overnight, set heat to low.
7) When beans are cooked, add tomato. Serve.
* Yes, I use this stuff in everything, and no, I do not care that it's basically MSG plus some celery salt. You can substitute veggie bouillon if your fear of acronyms trumps your trust in like, the past two decades of nutritional research.
