Vegan Crockpot Recipe

[Guest guest]

I got this from another list, veganized it, and added some of my own

touches. It's FABULOUS!

Thai " Chicken " Crockpot Soup

 

1 lb. faux chicken (I bought some very inexpensive at the asian market),

cut into 1-inch pieces

4 C. homemade or canned veggie broth (I recommend Maggi, cheap and good!

Any good one will do.)

2 C. carrots, peeled and sliced bias-cut

1 large onion, chopped

2 T. grated fresh ginger root (do *not* use dried)

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 stalks lemongrass, with the outer parts peeled away and the tender

white bottom stem, sliced finely lengthwise

1-2 t. crushed red pepper flakes

1 15 oz. can coconut milk

1 medium green pepper, diced

1 lb sliced mushrooms or straw mushrooms

1/3 C. chopped roasted peanuts (chop to a grainy texture in the food processor

fresh chopped cilantro

fresh chopped basil

hot cooked rice, any kind

 

In a 3 1/2-quart or larger crockpot, add the " chicken " , broth, carrots,

onion, ginger, garlic, lemongrass and crushed red pepper flakes.

Cook on LOW for six to eight hours.

30 minutes before serving, add the coconut milk, bell pepper,

mushrooms.

Cover and let stand five to 10 minutes. Pour each serving over a small

scoop of rice. Sprinkle peanuts, cilantro, and/or basil on each serving.
