Creamy Tomato Soup (vegan)

SOUP. I love soup. And I must add that this one is absolutely fabulous. First of all it’s comforting without being heavy and it’s a breeze to pull together. I’m talking 25 minutes tops with about 5 minutes hands on time. Throw some freshly sliced basil on top, serve with some crusty bread and a…

Creamy Cauliflower Soup with Crispy Brussels Sprouts & Smokey Chickpeas

This soup is the best cauliflower creation I’ve had in a while. Bursting with flavor and texture this soup is fall in a bowl.
