Tis the Season for Soup and Head Colds



3 hours of sleep, a morning of work/running errands with the babies, and the beginnings of a cold call for soup. We make a LOT of soup here (outside of summer months), so that's your warning. I'll try to pick different varieties to share with you, though. :)

I remember the first time I got sick after eating vegan and thought I was doomed without chicken noodle soup (check out my previous post Sick Day ). This particular soup was just 'throw what you have together and get it in the pot'. I like to think of it as a type of 'white trash'  if you will (in good humor of course. Because if you aren't white trash, you just cringed and if you are white trash, you just got a little proud).

Now - off the eat, put the babies down for naps and get some sleep.

PS - Do you like seeing 'real time' cooking or would you rather I had everything prepped and washed ahead of time? Please let me know!

Ingredients (approx.) - Remember you can play with your ingredients! Anything that is a 'must have' I have put an asterisk next to. However, you can adjust the portions as available.
  • 3/4 of leftover onion*
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 2 large carrots*
  • 3 mushrooms
  • 2 roma tomatoes
  • kale
  • chickpeas - or whatever beans you have on hand. I don't typically use chickpeas in soups because they are so hearty the sort of mess with the texture, but today they were calling out to me)
  • salt
  • water
