Vegan Cream of Vegetable Soup

This is one of those "everything but the kitchen sink" recipes...creamy and satisfying! Cashew cream is amazing and does such wonders to soups.

Make your own soup. Be creative. My recipe is just a starting point or inspiration. Use your own variety of veggies and seasonings, then add cashew cream, run it all through the blender and yummmmmmmm - enjoy!

Hearty Mushroom Barley Soup

It was a dreary, rainy day...a perfect day for a hearty bowl of soup. This is one of my favorite soups and it's very easy to make. I've never really measured anything, so the ingredients listed are approximate values. Get creative and add different kinds of mushrooms or veggies. Let me know how you made out and what adjustments or changes you made. Enjoy!!!

The author of "The Conscious Cook Book" was on Oprah the other day, cooking this soup. It looked simple and elegant, so I gave it a try and I am so glad I did. This is a FIVE STAR soup!! It is spectacular! A great soup to make when you want to impress your guests! It looks pretty, it tastes great and it's fairly easy to make. I was so full after 2 bowls that I could not eat anything else for dinner.

Soothing Red Lentil Soup

Go HERE - we have moved...

2 to 3T extra virgin olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
 2t grated fresh ginger
2t mild curry powder (I used 1/2 t hot curry and 1t reg. curry))
2 cups red lentils, rinsed well
8 cups water or veggie stock (or a mixture of both)
4-6 large carrots, peeled and sliced
4 cups thinly sliced chard (or kale, spinach, collards)
2 to 3T freshly squeezed lemon juice
2t sea salt   

Heat the olive oil in a large stock pot. Saute onions for about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, and curry powder and saute for a minute or so.   

Add the red lentils and water or stock. Add the carrots, cover, and simmer for about 1 hour.   

Turn off heat, add greens, lemon, and salt. Stir and let sit for 5 minutes to let the greens to soften. 

In spite of W's awful bout with food poisoning, our Christmas celebration turned out to be pretty wonderful. Christmas Eve was not so great and I was up with him in the middle of the night, but discovered that 2T of apple cider vinegar in water does wonders for the cramping and other side effects of food poisoning.
