Submitted by Laurie150

"You can alter the amounts for your taste, however, this warm winter-y stew has a delicious combination filled with the components of a balanced meal. Add onions or garlic - I leave them out because I am allergic."

 

• Ready In: 2hrs 15mins
• Ingredients: 16
• Serves: 3-4

ingredients

• 4 -5 cups miso or 4 -5 cups vegetable broth
• 5 large mushrooms, sliced
• 1⁄2 cup corn
• 1⁄2 zucchini, sliced
• 1 cup celery leaves, packed
• 2 stalks celery, chopped
• 2 large carrots, sliced
• 3 tomatoes, diced
• 1⁄2 cup dried beans
• 1⁄4 cup quinoa, uncooked
• 1⁄4 - 1⁄2 cup soymilk, unsweetened
• 2 bay leaves
• italian seasoning
• garlic powder
• salt
• fresh ground pepper

directions

1. In a large pot, or crock pot, combine all ingredients except for soy milk.
2. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 2 hours (until beans are soft).
3. Pour in soymilk just before serving to desired creaminess.
4. *I like miso-broth, but use any broth you choose. Tomato juices makes a nice option, too. Use varied amount, if you would like a more ‘broth-y’ soup, or more of a stew. I used about 4-5 cups.

i've made this recipe twice and have just used the veggies i had in the house (no celery either time). it's a good recipe, but we found that it's great the next day. if you can, plan to make this a day ahead so it becomes even more chowder-like for the next day.
