You mean dinner isn't made yet?!

This was a last minute "look in the pantry for what I can make fast, because it's 5 and dinner isn't started yet" dinner. It came out delicious!

1 can black beans
.5 can coconut milk
2 cups broth
1 can diced tomatoes
2 carrots coarsely chopped
2 yukon potatoes, coarsely chopped
1 stalk celery chopped
1 cup peas (frozen or fresh-add at the end)
4 leaves kale
.5 onion sliced
3 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon seaweed flakes (optional)
1/8 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/4 teaspoon coriander seeds
1/4 teaspoon tumeric
salt and pepper to taste
top with cilantro or herb of choice, a dash of lime, and a turn or two of pepper

Saute onion and garlic in a bit of oil with cumin and coriander seeds. If you only have powder, use that after the onion and garlic are cooked. Add in the rest of the ingredients and bring to a boil, simmer until potatoes are done. If you chop the potatoes large, add in the beans, kale, peas and coconut milk when the potatoes are almost done. The smaller the potato, the quicker the meal is done. If you dice them and the carrot, you can have this ready to eat in 20 minutes. Enjoy!
