White bean chilli soup
About:
Try this vegetarian white beans chilli made with corn, bell peppers, white beans, garbanzo beans. I used sour cream here which added tangy tasty to soup. Adding sour cream reduces the spicy taste in the soup and if desired more spicier add in extra chilli/paprika.
Health Benefits:
All beans are an excellent source of fiber, which slows the digestion, helps to regulate blood sugar, and can help lower cholesterol. You know how the song goes, and it’s true that beans are good for your heart!! I’ve even heard some nutrition experts say to eat as many beans as you want because they say “you’ll get full before you get fat on beans!”
Enjoy this soup with any breads of your choice.
I served this with spiced corn bread (link)

300th Post: Tofu kale baked dumplings – Vegan
About:
This recipe is based on kale baked falafel which I made for wraps earlier (link). Now this time I included tofu and baked it. You can also easily use any vegetables if preferred and swap kale with it.
Health Benefits:
- Kale can provide you with some special cholesterol-lowering benefits if it is steamed. Raw kale still has cholesterol-lowering ability—just not as much.
- Kale’s risk-lowering benefits for cancer have recently been extended to at least five different types of cancer.
- Kale is now recognized as providing comprehensive support for the body’s detoxification system.
This kale tofu balls are great by itself for the snacks and this goes well with pasta. (link)
