Black Bean Soup - SRC

Secret Recipe Club

I didn't think, it would confuse me to change the week, I posted for SRC but it does.  When I had the first week, a new month meant SRC.  The second week means, I have to be a big girl and simply remember.  Whatever the week, I do love the  Secret Recipe Club.

 This month, I had an interesting blog, Wholesome RD.  OK, I did not know what RD stood for.  I am ashamed of myself.  The fun, I had though, making up RD titles.

Ramen Doodles
Romaine Drops
Ranch Dressing
Radish Daikon (backwards)
Rutabaga Dairy

 What else do I have to do in my spare time?  Sure.

 I always find recipes on any blog, I look at, so that in itself means little.  The difference was that I found really interesting recipes that I liked and had not made before.

 Soft Garlic Pretzels
Spinach Artichoke White Bean Crostini
Crock Pot Honey Sesame Chicken
Mexican Mac and Cheese 
Pistachio-crusted Cod

That is just the beginning.  Erin is a Register Dietician (RD) who lives in Chicago with her husband and son.  Surprise, she loves to cook. She also loves to run and travel and she has traveled  extensively.

When it came time to select a recipe to make, it came easy because it was dinner and my hubby was walking around, mumbling 'soup", a clear signal, I could have a happy husband if I made soup.

 I found the Black Bean Soup and yes, I had a happy hubby.

Black Bean Soup   (adapted)

 Ingredients:

1 medium onions, chopped
  1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1 cup reduced-sodium  vegetable broth
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 Tablespoons ketchup
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 Tablespoon cumin
1 (15 ounce) cans black beans, drained but not rinsed
Freshly ground black pepper
1 bunch parsley
juice of 1/2 lime
 
Method:
 
Stir in the onions and cook, stirring, until they start to turn translucent, about 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until you can smell it, about 1 minute.

 Add the broth, tomatoes, ketchup, Worcestershire, and chili powder. Stir in the beans, turn the heat to high and bring to a boil. Adjust the heat so the soup is bubbling gently and cook 10 minutes. Season with pepper.
 
 Meanwhile, chop the parsley coarsely and stir it into the soup when it has been simmering 10 minutes. Cook until the soup is thickened, about 5 minutes.

    You are so funny, Chaya! I wouldn't have known what RD was either. But I also wouldn't have been witty enough to come up with possibilities.

    Thank you for linking this soup to See Ya in the Gumbo. Black beans may just be my favorite type of bean.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Brussels Sprouts - Power Food - Re-post

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I
