Vegetarian Awareness Month kicked off with World Vegetarian Day on Saturday, October 1. The HeartMath Kitchen shared a recipe for one of its favorite soups to mark the occasion.
Both rich and flavorful, this vegetarian black bean chili soup is chock full of vegetables. The refried beans added at the end gives the broth a nice creamy texture. Nice for a fall day and sure to ward off the chill of the upcoming cooler evenings.
