Why you’ll love this Jackfruit and 3 Bean Chilli Soup
Easy to make and minimal prep. There is very little prep involved in making this soup; all you need to do is trim any tough bits off of the jackfruit and dice the roasted red peppers. Other than that, everything just goes into the pot and you can leave the slower cooker to do it’s thing!
Full of flavour. The aim with this soup was to create a dish that was rich with Mexican-style flavours. The soup is tomato based and is pimped up with cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, chilli and a touch of cinnamon. Adding dark chocolate boosts the flavour of the soup further and the jackfruit soaks up all of those wonderful flavours.
Wholesome and nutritious. There are lots of lovely wholesome ingredients in this soup from flavourful and naturally sweet roasted red peppers to a trio of protein and nutrient rich beans.
Meal prep and freezer friendly. This recipe serves four but it can be doubled if your slow cooker is large enough and you’d like to create some extra freezer portions for a rainy day.
