Introduction

The original to this recipe was printed in the February, 2009 edition of "Living the Country Life" - I just upped the veggie and whole grain content. I find that it makes a dinner all by itself. A 3 1/2 to 4 quart crockpot is recommended. Don't let the cooking time scare you, it basically sits in the crockpot and cooks itself! :) The original to this recipe was printed in the February, 2009 edition of "Living the Country Life" - I just upped the veggie and whole grain content.

    1.25 cups water
    1 can cubed tomatoes (28 oz), with liquid
    1 green pepper, chopped
    1 can corn 12 oz, drained
    1 large carrot, chopped or sliced
    1 large onion, chopped
    2 jalapeno peppers, chopped
    4 teaspoons bouillon granules or equivalent

Directions

Combine water, beans, tomatoes with liquid, corn, carrot, onion, green pepper, jalepeno pepper, boullion, chili powder, and garlic in crockpot. Cover and cook on high for about 5 hours.

Add thawed collard greens and cover and cook another hour, until vegetables are tender.

In a bowl, miix flour, corn meal, baking powder, and pepper together. Stir in egg, milk, and oil, until mixture is combined. Drop batter onto soup in six fairly equal mounds. Continue to cook on low for about 30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into a dumpling comes out clean. Do not lift cover while dumplings are cooking!

    Good
    This was yummy! Very filling and tons of veggies. A dollop of sour cream on top really pulled it together. The cornbread batter was a little...healthy-- next time I might just use a little white flour, and make more batter. Great weeknight meal! - 9/15/09
