Vegan Butter Bean Soup Meal Prep
This recipe makes 4 jars of the most delicious butter bean soup. Just add hot water!
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1/2 Cup Vegan cream or milk, I used Country Crock Plant Cream
- 1 Carrot, finely chopped
- 1/2 Cup Sweet onion, finely chopped
- 1 Stalk Celery, finely chopped
- 4 Cloves Garlic, finely chopped
- 1/4 Cup Tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 Vegan bouillon cubes, I used No Chicken flavor
- 1 Can(14oz) Butter beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 Cup Pastina*
- 2 Cups Kale, chopped
- A few pinches of Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Finely chop all you veggies, you want them to be very small.
- Now, take four 16oz mason jars with lids.
- Divide the vegan cream equally and pour into the bottom of each jar.
- Evenly divide the veggies, except the kale, into each jar.
- Evenly divide the tomato paste into each jar, that will be 1 tablespoon per jar.
- Evenly divide the Italian seasoning into each jar.
- Cut each bouillon cube in half and add a half to each jar.
- Evenly divide the butter beans into each jar.
- Pour 1/4 a cup of uncooked pastina into each jar.
- Sprinkle a few pinches of salt and pepper into each jar.
- Top each jar with 1/2 cup of kale.
- Put the lids on and store in the fridge until ready to eat. They can stay in the fridge for 7-9 days.
- When ready to enjoy there are two methods you can use:Microwave- Take the lid off, fill the jar with water up to the kale on top. Cover with a paper towel, microwave for 1 minute, stir, microwave for another minute, stir and then microwave for another 30 seconds to 1 minute. Or until the pastina is al dente. Add a little more water if you lose some.
- Boiling Water- Take the lid off and fill the jar with boiling water up to the top. Put the lid back on and let sit for 5 minutes. Stir, then cover again and let sit for another 3-5 minutes or until the pastina is al dente.
- I prefer the microwave method, it cooks everything through better, but if you want to use boiling water, simply let it sit until softened up enough.
- You can add a bit more salt and pepper when ready to eat if desired.

Notes
*Pastina is the tiny star shaped pasta. If you prefer to use large pasta, I recommend cooking almost until it is al dente before adding it to the jars.
