Does anybody have any healthy vegan recipes? The cheaper the better

Taco Soup! I made this for dinner last night and it is so yummy! High in fiber and protein, low fat!
It is cheap to make and makes anywhere from 6-8 adult servings for about $10! (Thats$1.25 - $1.67/serving!) . It also freezes well.

Taco Soup:

1 large onion, diced
garlic (to taste...I really love garlic and used 3 cloves)
1 can each of low-sodium black beans, pinto beans, garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup frozed corn kernels
2 cans rotel tomatoes (or generic tomatoes with green chiles)
2 cans diced tomatoes
2 pkg. low-sodium taco seasoning (I like McCormik's)
1 pkg. ranch seasoning (I believe Whole Foods has vegan....)

Saute onion and garlic 5-8 minutes over med-high heat until soft. Add all remaining ingredients plus 1 can of water. Bring to a boil. Lower to a simmer and cook at least 30 minutes, up to several hours. (Can also be made in the crockpot, cook on low for 8 hours). Top with chopped fresh cilantro and pickled jalepenos, if desired.
*This is a good recipe if you are vegan/vegetarian living with others who are not. Simply have shredded chicken or ground beef/turkey/chicken on the side that they can add in!

I make a "vegetarian" chili all winter long that is very cheap and lasts about 2 weeks per pot. I think all the ingredients are vegan, but let me know if I'm wrong.

3 large cans of diced tomatoes
3 small cans of green beans (reduced sodium)
3 small cans of dark red kidney beans (reduced sodium)
3 small cans of white hominy
3 small cans of white northern beans
1/4 cup chili powder
1/2 cup sugar
A few tablespoons black pepper
I also add a few shakes of cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

It may be more of a vegetable bean soup, but the chili powder gives it a nice kick, and it gets thicker by the next day. I know adding sugar is bad, but it balances out the spiciness quite nicely.

Cans of beans are only about 75 cents each, and you can always customize what you put in the pot. Good luck!!

Hi I make a nice fresh salad using chick peas, it is as follows:

Can of chick peas (drain and rinse)
Can of sweet corn ( drain and rinse)
1/2 red onion( chopped finely)
1carrot (diced)
1stick of celery (finely diced)
1/2 red capsicum (red pepper) (finely diced)
Snow peas ( as many as you like sliced finely)
Italian parsley ( as much as yo like, chopped finely)
4-5 mint leaves ( chopped finely)
1 garlic clove ( crushed)
Table spoon olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon
Salt and pepper to taste

Place all this in a large bowl and mix. Let it sit for 1/2 hour for flavours to mingle.
If you like or can have tuna in your vegan diet, you can add a small can of tinned tuna for protein.

You can add more lemon juice and garlic if you like.

I hope you get to try this and enjoy!

I have a vegan "beef" stew that I posted on my blog and it tastes amazing. You could use regular button mushrooms in place of shiitakes and omit the vegan beef strips to make it a little cheaper.

Not vegan but I like that chili seasoning combination. I would eliminate the sugar - no need for added simple carbs. I'll keep that in mind for my non-vegan chili.
