This Week’s Recipes

This soup uses two types of lentils, red and brown. The red lentils will not hold their shape. They dissolve into the soup giving it a delicious creaminess that tastes great with the smoky broth and hearty potato and carrot hunks.

This delicious noodle soup is served in a light broth and garnished with fresh herbs. Try this recipe by adding orzo or orecchiette noodles and with chickpeas or white beans. Both taste great just a little different style. What will you choose?    

Lentils are a great source of protein and only take about 20 minutes to make. Combining lentils with orzo, a short-cut pasta shaped like a large grain of rice, makes a casserole that you’ll want to eat a lot of.

Yep vegan beer cheese soup! So creamy and yummy, it’s a good thing it’s easy to make.

Hearty and comforting packed full of potatoes, kale, celery, navy beans, and onions. The creaminess comes from blending roasted cashews and your favorite plant-based milk together.

Black lentils are smaller than black beans and have a deep, rich, earthy (though not dirty) taste.  They have a thicker skin that helps them hold their shape yet they are tender and toothsome.

This time of year Minnesota wild rice becomes more available so this classic creamy, yet vegan, soup slides into our dinner rotation and goes to the top of the list for diner party menu ideas.

This is my favorite vegan green posole. Posole, which means “hominy”, is a traditional soup or stew from Mexican Cuisine. Your guests might be guessing at what exactly they’re dipping their tortillas into, but they will all agree it’s just fabuloso!

This Vegan Split Pea Soup will become one of your all-time favorites. It’s a thick and hearty mix of green split peas, carrots, celery, onions and noodles simmering in a classic no chicken broth full of flavorful herbs.

Red peppers and tomatoes are in abundance this time of year and nothing feels better than firing up the oven for roasting veggies in these first crisp fall mornings. Roasting until the skin becomes charred is key for creating complex sweetness and a subtle smokiness.
