Ingredients:
- 1 batch of cauliflower & white bean soup (prepared in a slow cooker)
- 1 lb shrimp (or tofu for a vegan option)
- Oil for cooking
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoon hemp seeds
- 2 tablespoon pumpkin seeds
- Crackers, optional (for serving)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Cauliflower & Bean Soup:
- If you haven’t already, prepare a batch of cauliflower and white bean soup using your slow cooker. Combine cauliflower, white beans, vegetable broth, garlic, onions, and your favorite seasonings in the slow cooker. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the cauliflower is tender and the flavors are well combined. Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until it’s smooth and creamy.
- Cook the Shrimp (or Tofu):
- Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. If you’re using tofu, press it to remove excess moisture, then cut it into cubes and season with salt and pepper.
- Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add a bit of oil.
- Sear the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are pink and cooked through. For tofu, sauté until golden and crispy on all sides.
- Assemble the Meal Prep Containers:
- Evenly divide the cauliflower and bean soup between four meal prep containers.
- Top each container with a portion of shrimp or tofu.
- Sprinkle with hemp seeds and pumpkin seeds for added texture and nutrition.
- Serve with Crackers (Optional):
- For a bit of crunch, serve the soup with your favorite crackers on the side. They’re perfect for dipping and add an extra layer of flavor to this hearty meal.
How to Store:
- Once assembled, seal the meal prep containers with tight-fitting lids. Store them in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. This makes it easy to grab a healthy, satisfying meal whenever you need it!
How to Reheat:
- To reheat, simply microwave each container for 2-3 minutes, or until the soup is hot and the shrimp (or tofu) is warmed through. If reheating on the stove, pour the soup into a pot and heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Conclusion: This Slow Cooker Vegan Cauliflower & Bean Soup is the ultimate comfort food that will keep you warm and satisfied all season long. Loaded with wholesome ingredients and packed with flavor, it’s perfect for meal prep and easy to customize with shrimp or tofu.
