Instructions

  • Add oil to a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and cook until translucent, 3 minutes.
  • Add in the green chilis and spices, and salt, mix well, and continue to cook until the chilis break down a little bit, about 6-8 minutes.
  • Add in your soy curls, rice, corn, salt, and two cups of water.
  • Blend the cashews and 1 cup of water until smooth, and add it in, then bring the mixture to a good boil, and continue to cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked to preference.
  • Add in the Nutritional Yeast, mix in, taste and adjust salt. Adjust consistency with more water/broth if needed.
  • Switch off heat. Let the soup sit for another 5 minutes, then serve topped with some sliced Jalapenos, and vegan cheese shreds.

Notes

  • If you are not into rice, you can use quinoa instead
  • Instead of soy curls, use 1.5 cups shredded seitan
  • You can also add in a can of black beans to add more volume to the soup. Increase salt by a little bit to account for the added beans.
  • Nutfree To make this recipe without nuts, use 1/4 cup blended tofu or use 2 cups nondairy milk instead of 2 cups of broth
