    Slow Cooker Black Bean Posole - A Vegetarian Twist on a Favorite Mexican Soup!Y’all!

    It’s a vegetarian version of a traditional Mexican soup, made with spices like chili powder and oregano, poblano peppers, and hominy corn.

    And it’s SO SO SO SO SO GOOD! 

    I adore ‘cheap and filling meals’ like this one. 

    I’m often asked “how are you planning on feeding 4 teenage boys on a budget” – and the answer generally involves something along the lines of “big pots of beans and rice” – cheap and filling! 

    My teenage (and soon to be teenage) boys need LOTS of energy, LOTS of calories, and LOTS of proteins – and meals like this are a great way to accomplish all of that…on a budget.

    Rice and beans together make up a complete protein. Beans alone are an incomplete protein, and beans plus hominy are closer to a complete protein. 

    Also, poSole or poZole. 

    It’s like poTAY-to, poTAT-o. 

    However you choose to spell it or pronounce – english-spanish – it doesn’t really matter. Right?! 

    What matters is the YUM factor of this meal! Enjoy!

    Don’t want vegetarian/want more protein? Add in a few cups of shredded rotisserie-style chicken and use chicken broth in place of vegetable broth.
