Hearty and healthy is right. It's also tasteless!

I made this for some vegetarian friends and paired it with a Southwestern salad of mixed greens, fresh corn, red onion, avocado and cilantro dressing. They loved it! I like that it feels creamy without having any dairy in it. One thing though -- even a small serving is extremely filling. I felt stuffed afterwards. It must be fiber from all the beans. :P
