Description

Asopao is a rice soup prepared in many parts of the Caribbean. This is our plant-based version of this Puerto Rican home cooking classic.

Ingredients

¼ cup medium onion, diced

¼ cup red/orange peppers, diced

1 carrots, diced

1 TBSP tomato paste

1 green plantain, sliced or shredded

1 TBSP fresh or dried oregano

6 garlic cloves, crushed

2 culantro leaves, diced (optional)

¼ cup parboiled brown rice

4 cups low sodium veg broth

¼ cup cabbage, diced

2 cups red beans, cooked

2 cups butternut squash or calabaza

Salt and pepper to taste


Toppings

cilantro to taste

avocado, to place on top of asopao once served

Directions

1. Cook onions, peppers, garlic, carrots, culantro (if using) and tomato paste in 2 Tbsp veg broth for 2-3 minutes.
2. Add rice, plantain, and the rest of the broth and cook for 15 minutes or until rice is cooked.
3. Add butternut squash, beans, and cabbage and cook for 10 minutes or until thickened and squash is tender.
4. If asopao is too thick, add a little bit more of veg broth. To thicken asopao, you can blend 1/4 cup of the asopao and return to the pan.
5. Serve topped with fresh cilantro and avocado.

Notes

✔️You can substitute the red beans with any other bean or pigeon peas (gandules)
