Crockpot Butternut Squash Soup 150 Cal

Crockpot Butternut Squash Soup recipe, healthy and low-calorie

Vegetarian

Everything goes into the crockpot raw: squash, onion, carrots, celery, garlic, ginger, and broth, low for 6 to 8 hours, until the squash is fork-tender. Immersion blender runs through until completely smooth, then a drizzle of cream or coconut milk goes on at serving if you want it richer. Gets better overnight; reheats on the stove with a splash of broth. Why this works Start with slightly less broth than listed because the vegetables release liquid during the slow cook and the soup thins itself. Let the soup cool for 5 minutes before the immersion blender goes in; hot liquid … Read more

Onion sautés 3 to 4 minutes; garlic follows for 30 seconds; sweet potatoes cook for 5 to 7 minutes before the broth and rinsed lentils go in. Cover, low heat, 25 to 30 minutes until the lentils are tender and the broth has mostly absorbed. Kale stirs in last for 5 minutes. Gets better overnight as the lentils absorb more seasoning.

Cajun Style Vegan Red Beans And Rice Recipe for Dinner. 15g Fiber

Cajun style vegan red beans and rice dish with colorful spices and herbs

Vegetarian

Sausage browns in a skillet first, not raw in the crockpot; this builds flavor a straight simmer never gets. Soaked beans, browned sausage, onion, celery, bell pepper, garlic, and broth go into the crockpot together, low for 6 to 8 hours until the beans are tender. Mash a cup of beans against the side of the pot near the end; this is what makes the dish creamy instead of just brothy. Rice stirs in 30 minutes before serving. Gets better overnight; reheats with a splash of broth. What Happens When You Make It Right Soak the beans a full 8 … Read more

Vegan Red Beans And Rice 15g Fiber

A delicious bowl of Vegan Red Beans and Rice loaded with fiber and flavor

Mash a spoonful of beans against the side of the pot in the last few minutes; this thickens the broth with no meat or cream needed. Simmer 1 to 1.5 hours more until tender, then serve over rice. Reheats well; flavors deepen overnight. What Happens When You Make It Right Soak overnight if you can; a shorter soak means the beans need … Read more
