As always, I use the cronometer tool to track the nutrition of all my vegan recipes and vegan meal plans. This creamy pinto bean soup is high in B-vitamins which are great for energy, high in vitamin A and K, calcium, iron, zinc, magnesium, potassium, protein, fiber, and omega 3.

Cost of the Creamy Pinto Bean Potato Soup

3 cans pinto beans $1.80
4 medium potatoes $1.50
4 stalks celery $0.40
1 bundle spring onion $1.29
2 cups carrots $0.99
2 cups spinach $ 0.30
1/2 onion $0.12
Seasoning $0.30

You will spend about $1.60 per serving. Please note that these numbers depend on season and store. I got all my ingredients at Aldi and made this meal in January. Also, I only calculated the price based on the items I used, not on the bulk I bought. You can use the leftovers for other recipes.

Although you don’t have to use a vegetable stock powder, it does give any recipe (especially vegan recipes) more flavor. I like to use powder as it has a longer shelf life than the liquid version and you can also sprinkle it on a salad or use it as seasoning for many recipes. You can get a good one here on Amazon.
