Baked Bean Soup and Coleslaw
Written by Cassie Young

Baked Bean SoupThe Baked Bean Soup recipe is from Ashley over at Eat Me, Delicious. My cooking notes and slight modifications can be found in the meal plan post for the week. Like many soups, it tasted even better the next day, and I'd definitely make this again with plenty of extras for freezing.

To complete our meal, I tossed a coleslaw together using shredded cabbage, carrot, red onion, sunflower seeds and a creamy poppy seed dressing. For the dressing, I whizzed 5-6 tablespoons of silken tofu with a small dollop of Dijon, a little agave, cider vinegar, fresh garlic, a drizzle of grapeseed oil, then mixed in poppy seeds, salt and pepper.

Other side salad/dressing suggestions:

  • Use the Apple-Flax Vinaigrette from my Three-Bean Dinner Salad with a mix of romaine, sliced red onions and apples and a sprinkling of walnuts. Or make the 3-bean salad without the lima and white beans beans and add a good handful of corn kernels in their place.
  • Cauliflower and Radish Salad is a favorite of mine and would make an excellent side.
  • Use the Mango-Chili Vinaigrette with any salad you like, but it's especially good with a spring mix.

Very delicious meal, Wheeler. Only thing that could have made it better is a bowl of vegan ice cream for dessert. smilies/wink.gif

Do you think this soup would work in a crock pot?! I would love to come home from work to it on Monday...

Thanks!

Hi Courtney! I can't say how it would turn out as I don't have experience with crockpots these days (haven't owned one in years). If you decide to give it a shot in the crockpot, I'd love to hear how it turns out and know what adjustments you had to make, if any. I'm sure there are readers who could benefit from your experience!
