Good basic recipe
Used vegan dashi equivalent
Can add nori, green onions, kale, mushrooms, mushroom sprouts, tofu, etc.
Can be made without dashi
Good with mung bean sprouts
Delicious with Trader Joe's Furikake seasoning
I used dried whole rosemary leaf and this was still really good
I grated ginger from a ginger root I keep in the freezer (a great way to store ginger allowing you to use it “fresh” later on - store in an airtight freezer safe bag)
Excellent soup to use in casseroles or eat as it is
The serrano gave this quite a kick, even stemmed and seeded - I used a serrano that had been living on the counter for a couple of weeks and was getting wrinkly but I think it got much hotter the longer it sat
Used coconut cream as I was out of coconut milk and the soup actually did taste a bit of coconut - definitely stick to coconut milk to avoid coconut flavor
Added sliced garlic and mushrooms as well
Will use only one 15 oz can of tomato sauce next time
Done in 9 x 13 baking dish
List of stock approved veggies
Talks about what each veggie adds to the stock in terms of flavor
See Instant Pot section for actual stock recipe
Could use more salt at the end, a pinch or two
Could use more heat and chili flavor - try 4 guajillos next time instead of 3
Used the following and soup had excellent ratio and body
25 oz can of homniny
15.5 oz can of black beans
15.5 oz can of pinto
Add diced onions to garnish next time - used cilantro, green cabbage, radish, tostada shell, oregano and red chili flakes
Try adding umami somehow - mushrooms or tempeh?
There are more veggies in this than the name lets on - carrots, fennel bulb, tomatoes, onion
Really excellent and hearty soup
Light and delicious, even for the summer!
