INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Rinse the beans under cold water and pick out any debris or shriveled beans. Add to slow cooker.
    1 Package 15 Bean Soup Mix (Dried)
  • Dice onions, celery, & carrots, and add to slow cooker
    1 Medium Yellow Onion, 3-4 Ribs Celery, ¾ Bag Baby Carrots (16 oz bag)
  • Add garlic, tomatoes, and vegetable broth
    2 tbsp Minced Garlic, 1 Can Diced Tomatoes (15 oz each), 2 Cartons Vegetable Broth Carton (32 oz ea)
  • DOUBLE CHECK THAT SEASONING PACKET IS PLANT BASED. The name brand version is not labeled vegan but widely considered vegan.
    Add seasoning packet to slow cooker.
    IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO USE PACKET - SUBSTITUTE: 1 tsp Thyme, 1tsp Oregano, and 1 Bay Leaf.
  • Stir everything together, cover, and cook on high for 6-8 hours or until the beans are tender. We recommend the longer time frame, even if fully cooked at 6 hours the flavors have more time to meld at 8 hours.
  • About halfway through, check flavor or broth and vegetables. Add salt and pepper as desired. Will LIKELY need ample amount of each.
    Salt & Pepper
  • When fully cooked, turn off slow cooker and allow to cool about 15 minutes. This will allow the broth to thicken slightly.
  • Cook plant-based sausage according to instructions in separate pan. Get it slightly crispy for best results.
    1 Package Plant Based Sausage (of choice)
  • Combine soup and sausage in bowl. Season with salt & pepper or favorite hot sauce to taste.
