I used a few different recipes and mixed them together to make this. I did not have any any Chipotle Chillis in Adobo Sauce, so I used red pepper flakes and Paprika instead. I also had very little salsa, so I used broth and some tomato sauce instead. This would probably taste great with different flavors of salsa too. The soup would also taste good with different vegetables - I just used what I had on hand - peas, peppers, celery etc would also be good options.
I combined two recipes to make it. It was a little crumbly and I was not too impressed. I also did not plan too well and the soup was ready half hour before the bread, so we ended up eating the soup first and then the corn bread. And the corn bread was too hot to eat too. I think I'll like it more tomorrow. Also in my attempt at to bake in a pretty dish - it was too deep and it took longer for the corn bread to cook.

3 Carrots, chopped
1 C frozen corn kernels
1/2 vegan sausage

Heat Oil in a soup pot, add garlic and onion. Cook for 5 minutes. Add cumin and salt.
Add carrot and cook for 5 more minutes. Add black beans, salsa, tomato sauce, red pepper flakes, paprika, broth, herbs and corn. Bring to a boil.
Take 1/3 of the soup and purree it (either in a food processor or a hand blender). Mix it the purree with the chunky beans. Add cilantro, sugar and bring to a boil.
Corn Bread
I did not like the sweetness of this cornbread much - If I make it again, there will be no sugar!!

Do you use whole wheat pastry flour? I find it works much better and makes breads lighter than whole wheat flour. I think it has the same amount of fiber too. I have a black bean soup recipe that I like a lot. I will try to post it. Are you adding seitan because you have a lot left of just for more texture? We are hoping to grill tonight even though it is supposed to rain. It was really warm yesterday and put us in the mood!
ReplyDeleteI have not found whole wheat pastry flour here, so I usually use half whole wheat and half all purpose flour! I am adding sietan because I have a lot left - nothing to do with texture, although that will be a good reason too!!
ReplyDeleteWE have been eating out a lot and that will continue tonight and tomorrow too. I'll hopefully get to post again soon!
