Quick Black Bean Soup

This soup is another good soup to have when you only want a small salad with your meal, since it contains lots of raw veggies.

Puree fresh tomato salsa.

Heat canned vegetarian refried black beans until very hot. Stir in pureed salsa at a ratio of about 1/4 cup salsa to 3/4 cup beans.

Quick Carrot Risotto

Risotto isn't really as time consuming as most people assume that it is. There's no need to stand in front of the stove watching the rice cook - in between adding broth you can be making a salad, setting the table, cleaning the kitchen ... Before you know it you're risotto is done and dinner is on.

Finely shred 1 large peeled and trimmed carrot. It should look like mush. Let it sit out while you prepare the rest of the risotto so that it comes to room temperature.

Saute over medium heat 1 large chopped onion in small amount of extra-virgin olive oil. Season with sea salt and black pepper while sauteeing. When onion becomes translucent (about 5 minutes) add 1 thinly sliced clove garlic. Stir occasionally to keep onion from browning. It may get light brown, but shouldn't get crispy.

Set onion aside and add 1 tablespoon butter to pan along with 2 cups instant brown rice. Stir until rice starts to brown then add 1/2 cup carrot-based vegetable broth and 1/4 teaspoon sea salt.

Let simmer without covering pan. When rice is almost dry add another 1/2 cup broth. Continue doing this until you've used 2 cups of broth.

Taste the rice. It should be chewy but not crunchy. You can stop adding liquid at this point or add up to another 1 cup of broth.

When liquid is absorbed remove from heat and stir in carrot puree and cooked onion. Taste and add more sea salt if needed.

If you haven't found the recipe you're looking for use this search engine to find the recipe you're looking for on the Internet. TIP: type the word "recipe" after your search criteria, i.e. "chicken recipe" instead of just "chicken". I love this search engine so much that I've almost abandoned my cookbooks. It's so much easier to just type in what I want and be given a page full of links to new recipes than to have to search through several cookbooks.
