And the go-to combo in our house, done lots of ways - full of nutrients and yumminess and usually pretty easy to throw together, either to save to freeze for later or to use right away (or both)
2 Cans White Beans (Northern Beans), undrained
1 Box Imagine brand, 32 oz. No Chicken Broth (or use Vegetable Broth)

1 White Potato, cubed and boiled about 10 min, until tender, set aside
1 cup cooked Quinoa or Brown Rice (we used quinoa)
1 c. finely chopped kale or spinach
4 Cloves Garlic, chopped
1 tsp. Salt
1 small can Green Chilies
1 Box Trader Joe's Chickenless Strips, finely chopped (I use the Ninja)
1-2 tsp. Chipotle Chilies in Adobo Sauce (optional) - use sparingly, this stuff is HOT
In a large soup pot, combine broth, beans and green chilies
Scoop out about half into a blender and blend until pureed and creamy, add back to soup pot
Add in, but do not puree, quinoa or brown rice, chopped kale or spinach, cooked potato cubes, chopped Chickenless strips and rest of seasonings
Heat through and simmer on medium about 20 min., stirring often to prevent burning
Chili will thicken as it cools
Top with sour cream, green onions and crushed tortilla chips
Freezes well in individual containers for easy lunches or quick dinners!
