Vegetable Bean Rice Soup



Right now it is drizzly outside and just call for a cup of warm tea and soup kind of day. So I figured that it be important to just do that. A one pot meal that encompassed everything healthy and heart warming.

This is all sorts of awesome- gluten free, vegetarian, vegan, full of protein, vegetables and servings. You can make this and have lunch tomorrow. Take it to a brunch (because we know these days, diets of all kinds and food restrictions of all kinds, it can be hard to cook to cater to everyone at once, right?).

The other thing I like about this dish is the ability to use items that are not in nature expensive and know that easily per serving, you will be not spending much. This makes 12-16 servings.


Ingredients:
1 large tomato
6 Shanghai Tips/Bok Choy
1 medium onion
3 garlic
1/2 bunch Cilantro
1 large bell pepper
12 cups water
1 1/2 cups rice
1 15 ounce Kidney beans, canned


Directions:
1. Chop all the ingredients.
2. Combine onion and garlic to sautee in the bottom of the pan for a minute
3. Add in the Cilantro and stir for a minute
4. Add in bell pepper and stir for a minute
5. Add in bok choy and stir for a few minutes until the boy choy condenses down a little bit
6. Add in 12 cups water and bring to a boil
7. Add rice and cook for 15 minutes
8. Add in tomato and cook low for 5 more minutes.
9. Serve.

I like those dishes that can take a lot of vegetables, put them together in a pot, and make lots of left-overs. That way there is always something healthy to eat for lunch.

Ben Jamin- that is a great idea, I need something like that, so I don't have to cook much. Will try this.
