Season: late spring
Taste: cross between and potato/cucumber/ and water chestnut
Nutritional Info:
Texican Soup:
Ingredients:
- 1/2 chayote squash
- 2 large roma tomatoes
- 1 T chopped garlic or 1 clove
- 1 red bell pepper, seeds discarded
- 2 large carrots (I steam mine for easier digestion)
- 1/2 packet taco seasoning
- 1 chick-un boullion cube
- 3 C hot water (i used the water from steaming the carrots)
- 1/2 T cumin
- 1/2 T red pepper flakes
- 1 t smoked paprika
- 4 sliced mushrooms
- optional:
- handful of spinach
- corn
- avocado
- daiya pepperjack
- vegan sour cream
- black beans
- tortilla strips
Steps:
1. chuck everything into vitamix except mushrooms, spinach, and/or "optionals"
2. blend until smooth (or chunky, whatever you like)
3. add mushrooms, pulse
4. add spinach, pulse (** I highly recommend doing this; I DIDN'T and it really messed with the whole "soup-vibe", but i really liked the added flavor)
5. pour into a big bowl
6. top with "optionals" if desired (you can see from the picture that I did not and it was amazing anyways, so they're not necessary to have a complete-tasting meal, just adds some extra texture)
