Indian Spiced Cabbage Sweet Potato Soup

Spicy Cauliflower Soup from A Veggie Venture

Spicy Cauliflower Soup

Did you know there are two holidays today? Of course everyone knows it's Martin Luther King Day in the U.S., but you might not know that it's International Hot and Spicy Food Day. As soon as I heard that I thought it would be fun to find something that was unexpectedly spicy for Meatless Monday. What I wanted was a hot and spicy recipe for a dish that's not normally hot and spicy, and Spicy Cauliflower Soup from A Veggie Venture fits that description perfectly. Most cauliflower soups are rich and creamy but this one is healthful and deliciously spiced with coriander, cumin, chili powder, and turmeric in addition to the red pepper flakes. Alanna says the inspiring recipe suggests you could eat it with a dollop of plain yogurt, and I'd definitely want that on mine to cool down the heat.  Read more >

Black Bean Soup

Every year on New Year's Day I have my annual soup party where family members, friends, and neighbors gather to sample an assortment of soups I've made the week between Christmas and New Year's. Last year this Vegetarian Black Bean and Sweet Potato Soup with Lime was the hit of the party, so I thought it might be fun to feature it for the very last Meatless Monday post of 2011! (If you skip the yogurt or sour cream, this soup is vegan, and it's definitely one of my all-time favorite soups.)  Read more >

Roasted Garlic and Potato Soup with Parmesan from FamilyStyleFood

Roasted Garlic and Potato Soup

This is the season for food that's warm and comforting, and this Roasted Garlic and Potato Soup with Parmesan from Karen at FamilyStyleFood sounds to me like a perfect Meatless Monday dish for anyone who's a bit overloaded with rich holiday food. First the garlic roasts in the oven, making your house smell amazing, and then those roasted garlic cloves are simmered with the potatoes. The recipe says to cook the potatoes in stock or water, so use veggie stock and skip the Parmesan if you want to make this vegan.  Read more >

Soup, Soup, Glorious Soup!

Soup

I was thinking about soup this morning, and decided I am a soup snob.Ah, soup. Surely it was one of the first foods cooked by early man, after the bloody haunch of giant elk began to get monotonous. Some soups can qualify as super-foods, with all the vitamins, minerals, and anti-oxidants any nutritionist could ask for.  Read more >
