Souper, man.

I've never used coconut oil before and now after this recipe, I have a TON of it left. Anyone have any fun uses for it because I got nuttin'?

"Cajun White Bean Soup" (6 quart pot) The original link is HERE.

~1 green bell pepper, chopped
~2 T coconut oil
~1 red bell pepper, chopped
~1/2 large Vidalia onion, chopped (From the CSA.)
~2 c carrots, shredded
~2 c zucchini, shredded (From the CSA.)
~1 (15 oz) can white kidney beans (I cheated.)
~4 garlic cloves, minced
~1 jalapeƱo pepper, finely chopped
~56 oz low sodium chicken broth (I'm sure if you wanted to make it vegetarian, you could use veggie broth.)
~2 T Cajun seasoning
~Mexican cheese blend, shredded
~sour cream

Heat coconut oil in a saucepan over medium heat.
Add peppers and onion.
Cook on 10 minutes until tender.
Dump into crock pot with remaining ingredients, except cheese and sour cream.
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours. (I think "HIGH" was a typo.)
Top with cheese and sour cream.

10 servings.
This is a pretty good soup with a nice kick My bean substitution changed the consistency it a bit (it's supposed to be thicker), but I'm kind of okay with that.
