Day 74.
Mmm...it's like a taco, but it's soup. Slurp. I served it with homemade sourdough, but it would be excellent with tortillas or tortilla chips, also. I <3 Taco Tuesday.
Bean and Rice Soup
Adapted from Bean and Rice Soup.
Ingredients
2 C Mexican-seasoned taco "meat" ("meat" + 2 Tbsp. taco seasoning) I used leftover Taco Meat
1 C raw brown rice
4 C black beans
4 C veggie broth
2 C diced tomatoes
optional toppings: grated cheez, salsa, chopped cilantro, chopped onion
Directions
Place all ingredients in the crock of a slow cooker. Stir gently. Place the lid on top and turn on the cooker. Cook for 6 hours on low or 3 hours on high. Serve with toppings.
The Results
This was absolutely fabulous. And, bonus, I used up that taco meat I had in a baggie in the freezer. It's nice and spicy (at least it is with our homemade taco seasoning) and is a perfect fall or winter treat. I'm clinging to my cold weather foods as spring is knocking at our door here in the South.
