Today I decided to make something really delicious, something that would use up odds and ends in my pantry, and something that falls into the "comfort foods" category. And what happened was a Chili Soup....something that almost wants to be chili, but is a bit more soupy.
What you'll need:
24 oz. canned diced tomates
24 oz. veggie broth
1 small can of tomato paste
1 green pepper, chopped
1 onion, chopped
4 cups of your favorite beans
4-5 cloves of garlic, minced
salt/pepper to taste
hot sauce!
Also, out of extra comfort foodiness, I made this all in my crock pot. And this is the easier thing ever to make. Just add all of your ingredients into the crock pot, set it to high, and about 4-5 hours later...voila! A meal, ready for you and your loved ones! And it tastes extra good, since it has been simmering all day long, basically.
This is also a great basic recipe, since you can add whatever veggies you have on hand, whatever beans you have sitting around (I used garbanzo and black beans in mine...just what I had hanging around my kitchen). Each time, it can be totally customizable to use up your leftover veggies, as long as you have some canned tomatoes around. Which I always seem to have on hand too.
And I like the fact it has almost a double comfort food aspect to me...chili...and soup. Become one. Amazing!
