Is it still soup season?

As long as we’re staying safe at home, I’m saying it is.

Each Monday throughout April I’ve made a new pantry-friendly recipe via Instagram stories.

And surprise, surprise, almost all of them have been soup!

It’s so satisfying to throw legumes, grains, and veggies in a cook pot and let them simmer to deliciousness.

Give me a pot, some quinoa, black beans, and spices, and I can make you a vegan, gluten-free, and totally satisfying meal.

This Black Bean Quinoa Chili is packed with black beans, quinoa, and mushrooms in a sweet tomato broth.

It’s made with only pantry-friendly ingredients that you probably already have tucked away in your cabinets.

How to Make Black Bean Quinoa Chili

It’s so simple.

First, sauté the onions and mushrooms in a large pot, then deglaze the pan with vegetable broth and add all of the remaining ingredients.

Bring the mixture to a low-boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes.

Taste and add in more chili powder or cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.

Eden Foods Pantry Staples

Two pantry staples I *always* have on hand are Eden Foods Organic Quinoa and  Eden Foods Organic Black Beans.

Together, they create a “meaty” texture and consistency to this chili that’s packed with plants!

The quinoa and black beans combined create a wonderful hearty plant-based base that’s packed with protein, iron, and fiber.

This recipe makes for a thicker stew-like chili, but if you prefer thinner soup with more broth, add in a bit more vegetable broth to thin things out.

How to Serve Black Bean Quinoa Chili

Make this Black Bean Quinoa Chili as a hearty plant-based soup with pantry-friendly ingredients.

This is a blueprint recipe that you can add to, so feel free to throw in any other vegetables you have on hand.

Some delicious ideas are bell pepper, squash, and diced tomato.

Load up the steaming bowls with your favorite toppings.

Toppings for Black Bean Quinoa Chili

I love almond milk yogurt, fresh cilantro, avocado, and hot sauce.

This soup is ideal for meal prep because it serves 4-6 and leftovers might taste better than the original!

If you have time, try making this in a slow cooker or increase the simmer time on the stovetop for an even richer flavor.

Enjoy!

#ad// {NEW!} When everything else feels hard, this #ad// {NEW!} When everything else feels hard, this Thai Carrot Sweet Potato Soup feels easy. 🥕🍠🥣 It also tastes amazing and every warm spoonful is like a comforting embrace. This Thai Carrot Sweet Potato Soup is made on the stovetop with root vegetables and yellow curry paste blended with a spoonful of nut butter. I used a standing blender but you can also use an immersion blender to achieve the creamiest consistency.

I love topping my soup with cilantro, @edenfoods Tamari Roasted Almonds, and @edenfoods Hot Pepper Sesame Oil. 

@edenfoods Tamari Roasted Almonds are infrared roasted organic almonds with complimentary organic tamari soy sauce. They’re a delicious snack packed with protein and fiber. You can enjoy them on their own, added to trail mix, on salads and bowls, or…on soup! 
 
@edenfoods Hot Pepper Sesame Oil is a delicious unrefined expeller pressed toasted sesame oil that is infused with hot red chili peppers. Friends, this stuff is HOT! Just a *drop* adds a big kick to your dressings, marinades, stir-fries, etc. If you have a wild side, add a drop or two to your soup bowl for a little extra heat! 

Feel free to add your favorites, like roasted chickpeas, green onion, and sesame seeds.
