Meal Plan Monday: January 20, 2014

I wasn't feeling very food inspired this week, so luckily my husband has a new recipe to share.

Swedish Meatballs

Pizza

Thai Pumpkin Soup

Roast Chicken

Tortilla Soup

White Chili

4 cups cooked white beans
2qts veggie broth
1/2 cup butter
1 cup gluten free flour
1 onion, diced
1 green pepper, diced
2 tbsp chili powder
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp dried parsley
1 tbsp cumin
1 tsp pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 bunch cilantro
2 cups tomato sauce
2 tbsp red wine vinegar

Combine the broth and tomato sauce and bring to a boil. Add the herbs and spices.  While waiting for the broth to come to a boil make a roux with the butter and flour, cook for a few minutes to get ride of starchy taste.  While still hot,  add roux carefully to the broth (be sure to stir to avoid lumps).  Add onions, peppers and cilantro to soup and let simmer for about 10 minutes to thicken.  Once thickened add the cooked beans and red wine vinegar to the pot. Serve hot with a little cilantro for garnish.
