I've experimented with a lot of vegetarian recipes and I keep coming back to this basic, vegan, slow cooker recipe. It is easy to adjust to your individual tastes. It freezes well, too.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

  • 2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained

  • 2 (15 ounce) cans butter beans, rinsed and drained

  • 1 (15 ounce) can great northern beans, rinsed and drained

  • 1 (15 ounce) can black-eyed peas, rinsed and drained

  • 1 (15 ounce) can red kidney beans, rinsed and drained

  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce

  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, or more to taste

  • 1 cup chopped carrots

  • 1 cup chopped celery

  • 1 cup chopped leek

  • 6 tablespoons tomato paste

  • 1 chipotle chile in adobo sauce, chopped

  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika

  • 1 teaspoon chili powder

Directions

  1. Combine black beans, butter beans, great northern beans, black-eyed peas, kidney beans, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, carrots, celery, leeks, tomato paste, chipotle chile, paprika, and chili powder in a slow cooker.

  2. Cover and cook until vegetables are tender, 4 to 6 hours on Low.

Cook's Note:

This is a nice and spicy recipe. You can use whatever beans you have on hand or ones to your liking. The smoked paprika adds a nice touch. The level of spiciness is determined by how much of the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce you add.
