Looking for a good vegetarian dinner that is easy to make and cheap? I created a pretty delicious concoction today while having a soup competition with me vegetarian girlfriend. Check it out and let me know what you think!
Ingredients:
- 32 oz of Vegetable broth
- 32 oz of Water
- 1 box of Uncle Ben's Long Grain & Wild Rice
- 1/2 of a Green Pepper, Diced
- 1 Red Pepper, Diced
- 1/2 can of Corn
- 1/2 of a fresh Carrot
- 1 Jalapeño, sliced then cut in half
- 8 oz of Medium Chunky Salsa
- Dash of Pink Peppercorn
- Dash of Black Pepper
- Dash of Lemon and Black Pepper seasoned Salt
- Splash of Lime Juice
The process of making soup is very simple if you have not already done it. Get a pot and put it on the stove, add the broth and water. While it is getting hot get your Uncle Ben's Rice and put the rice and the seasoning packet into the broth. Once you get the rice in it's time to dice some veggies! Grab a cutting board and a sharp knife. Dice your peppers, jalapeño, and carrot. Once diced add them along with the corn, black pepper, pink peppercorn, lime, and lemon salt to the boiling broth. Let it cook for awhile, you want your veggies to be nice and soft and your rice to be all the way cooked. If you are satisfied with the seasonings and amount of veggies in your soup it's time to add the salsa. Take 8 ounces of salsa (half a jar) and add it to the soup. Stir lightly while its boiling for a couple minutes. Now serve, let cool, and ENJOY!
It's surprisingly delicious and came to be by throwing random items together. Have fun in the kitchen! Your friends/family will love you more :)
