One of the BEST Pantry Staple Soup Recipes

This dairy free coconut black bean soup recipe is a fantastic pantry-staple meal!  It uses almost all ingredients you would have in your dry pantry or cupboards – most of which you probably have on hand. Keeping a well-stocked pantry makes it easy to come up with delicious and healthy meals using a few staples you can rotate.  I made a list of my Top 125 Plant-Based Pantry Staples that always keep stocked. And you can check out all my favorite pantry staple ingredients in my Amazon shop here.  By stocking up on healthy whole ingredients you can cook delicious recipes without a trip to the store!

Frozen Veggie Recipes For the Win!

I used a few frozen veggies for this recipe instead of  fresh produce (frozen carrots and bell peppers). Frozen produce is a great option for finding fresh and flavorful vegetables in the off season. By using freezer ingredients, I can stock up when they are on sale, and use them in all kinds of great dishes. It saves me a trip to the store, and I can add amazing veggies right into the recipe. Frozen vegetables are often picked at peak ripeness, so they are a much better option than canned.  Check out all my recipes that use Freezer Ingredients on The Herbeevore – great for those nights when you want dinner ready fast!

    Really, really good. I cut the vegetable stock down, 3 instead of 4 cups to give the soup more body and coconutiness. And I added some lime. I didn’t have a can of diced tomatoes so I cut up some cherry tomatoes and threw them in, really nice.
