Black bean vegetable soup

Very filling, high protein, low fat, simple ingredients, easy to make...tastes good, too! A big bowl of soup and a slice or two of whole wheat French bread makes a very satisfying and heart healthy dinner.

Ingredients & Process
2cups soorakaya cubes, or zucchini, cooked and puréed 
1cup black beans, cooked
1cup soy chunks, reconstituted 
1/2 cup corn kernels
1packet Maggi seasoning (or 1tsp salt plus 1/2 tsp chili powder)
Pinch turmeric, onion powder, garlic powder
1/4 cup ketchup 
1spoon mustard or vinegar
2spoons molasses or sugar
Add salt to taste

Combine everything in a soup pot and allow to simmer on low heat for 30-45 minutes. Can also put all ingredients in a crockpot and leave on low for 2-3 hours.
