Dinner Bowl #137

 

This looks a bit like sludge, but it was delicious.

What we have here is cheeseburger soup, made with TVP and cashew cream, but inspired by a recipe at Contentedness Cooking. I made a sour cream-style cashew cream to substitute for the sour cream in the recipe, so I didn't add it until the end, because cashew cream thickens so much when it cooks. Well, even doing that, it was so thick I had to add three more cups of no-beef broth!

I could easily see making something similar with pasta or rice and making that into a casserole, but we're not in casserole times.

It's been too long since I cooked with TVP. It's such a nice thing! I know there is ready made vegan ground beef but I virtually never buy that becuase I have TVP.
