1 large onion, chopped
3-4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, minced
4 cups frozen corn
6 cups vegetable broth
1 19 oz can chopped tomatoes
1/4 tsp black pepper
3 tsp vegetable stock powder, or to taste
1/3 cup quick oatmeal
2 cups Korean rice cakes, or about 1 cup Cooked orzo, optional
 4 cups fresh spinach chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 tblsp lime juice




Directions

 
Dry fry the onion until soft adding a little water if needed.

When the onion is soft, add in the garlic and a splash of water. Cook for about a minute.

Add in chipotle pepper, broth, black pepper, tomatoes, oatmeal, vegetable stock powder,  corn and rice cakes or orzo if using.

Cook for about 30 minutes. Stir frequently so the oatmeal does not stick to the bottom.

Stir in lime juice.

Enjoy!

Tip 

If you do not have Korean rice cakes or orzo on hand, add in a peeled died potato.
