Vegetarian tortilla soup I love this soup, 2-3 tortillas or wraps cut into thin strips olive oil, smoked paprika. pop the tortilla bits into an oven proof dish and drizzle with a little olive oil and a sprinkle of smoked paprika, and cook in oven until slightly browned approx 10 - 15 min, remove & cool. They should become crispy.
1-2 tbsp olive oil 1 large onion chopped 3 cloves garlic chopped (last time I made it I added a glug of port, and reduced it down before adding the spices, worked well) 1 tsp ground cumin 2 tsp ground coriander 1/4 - 1/2 cayenne pepper (to taste) 1 can crushed tomatoes 6 cups veg broth 1 tin black beans 1 cup corn ( I use frozen) 1 tsp sugar sprinkle of smoked paprika salt & pepper to season
Heat oil in large pot and saute the onion & garlic, with salt. Stir in the spices heat for 1 min then add the tomatoes & sugar. Cook the tomatoes for about 5 min until slightly reduced, add veg stock, black beans, corn & pepper & a light sprinkle of smoked paprika. Simmer for another 10 - 15 min. Adjust seasoning as needed.
spoon into bowls, stir through some fresh coriander, add baked tortillas,a dollop of sour cream . and some cubed avocado, and if liked a drizzle of chilli sauce for those in the family that like it hotter.
avocado, sour cream & fresh coriander to serve

Hi, I want to know, if I'm making fast vegan crumbed sausages which calls for a cup of rolled oats, does it matter if they are the small oats or the large ones!Thanks.I want to try them tonight but only have the small ones.

Edited to add:Sorry, these are not vegan, but I'll leave the recipe here because it's a good one.
Not mine, just got it from this thread. and my carnivore son liked them!
FAST VEGAN CRUMBED SAUSAGES/BURGER PATTIES
Very quick and cheap and easy when there is "nothing in the pantry".
Into a bowl place 1 cup of rolled oats. Add a crumbled vegetarian stock cube (like Massell) and anything else you want in the way of flavours. I usually use 1 tsp mixed herbs. You an add a small finely chopped onion if you want. Now pour over 1 cup of boiling water and mix well. Either cover tightly and leave for 10 minutes OR stick it in the microwave for 1 or two minutes on high. Cool slightly then add 1 large tablespoon crunchy peanut butter and mix well. put some crumbs out on a plate and take small portions of the mixture, dab into the crumbs and shape into little sausage shapes, or patties or balls. fry gently in a good oil till golden and crispy all over. Cheap, healthy hi fibre, and kids like it, esp with tomato sauce!

I wasn't looking for "meat" ellie, just a little bit more "flavour" maybe. Personally I would use some eggs to bind it all and some nuts and dairy for a bit more flavour. Have done such good "meat imitations" in the past that even the cats ate it LOL :)

These ones used to be my favourite:
3 cups dry lentils 1 onion, chopped 1 cup bread crumbs 1 Tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or any other herbs you like 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed 1 teaspoon dried basil, crushed 3 eggs 1 cup finely chopped roasted hazelnuts or walnuts 1-1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper
Cook lentils and combine with onion, bread crumbs, parsley, eggs, and nuts. Stir in thyme, basil, salt, and pepper.
Make about 20 burger-sized patties. Fry in hot oil on both sides.
which I have made in one form or another for vegetarian visitors here.

If you read it you will see it says to shape into sausage shapes or rissoles etc.
