The parameters of the challenge are:

Must use an instant pot.

Must feed 4.

Must be vegetarian.

Servings can be no more than 650kcal each. (Max total 2600kcal)

Must be storable/freezable.

The challenge is for a meal planning/food prep group so I’m using frozen or canned ingredients.

Here is the recipe I have right now:

1 box chickpea rotini (900kcal)

1 bag frozen chopped onions (120kcal)

1 bag frozen sweet corn (360kcal)

1 bag frozen peas (240kcal)

1 can sliced Spanish olives (175kcal)

1 can mushroom stems and pieces (60kcal)

1 can diced tomatoes with jalapenos (75kcal)

1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup (140kcal)

1 carton vegetable broth (20kcal)

Half teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons black pepper

It’s a total of 2090kcal right now which is 523kcal per serving.

I can still add about 500kcal and I’m thinking about adding some vegetarian cheese because I’m concerned it won’t be creamy enough. I put the tomatoes and olives in because everything had a a similar flavor and I thought adding some contrasting acidity would keep it from being bland.
