How to Prepare Slow Cooker Mung Bean Soup [Vegan]

  1. Start by measuring and preparing all spices. In a coffee grinder, spice grinder, or using a mortar and pestle combine cumin seeds, fenugreek seeds, and coriander seeds and grind into a powder. Now is a great time to measure out the turmeric powder, grate the ginger and chop the vegetables, onions and garlic, as well as wash the mung beans.
  2. Either in a large sauté pan, or in your slow cooker insert if it is stove top safe, add grape seed oil over medium heat. Add onion and 1/4 teaspoon salt and sauté until it begins to soften, about 5 minutes.
  3. Next to the sautéed onions add minced garlic, ginger, and all spices. Stir for 1 minute. Add mung beans and stir for 1 -2 more minutes, then remove from heat.
  4. If you’re using a sauté pan spoon the spiced onion/mung bean mixture into the slow cooker, or if you’re using the insert place it back inside the slow cooker unit.
  5. Add the remaining ingredients to the slow cooker: water, 1/2 teaspoon salt, cauliflower florets, and diced zucchini.
  6. Cook on the low setting for 6 hours.
