Delectable Mushroom Soup | vegan, oil-free, gluten-free

Reply

MushroomSoup1txtDelectable was the word used by my sister to describe her feelings on this soup, so I figured I’d call it just that – Delectable Mushroom Soup.  Much more fun than plain old Mushroom Soup.  And honestly people, not to toot my own horn or anything but it really is delectable.  I got lucky with this one, for sure.  I had a ton of cremini and chanterelle mushrooms (thanks to Costco) and realized I’d never made a creamy mushroom soup before, and it sounded really good to me.  I was hopeful the recipe would work out so I made copious notes as I went along.  So glad I did.  The best part?  It’s EASY to make!

This soup is rich and creamy but not overly fattening.  I used only 1/3 cup raw cashews which adds fat of course, but not too much.  The items I used for garnish are optional and do add a small amount of fat.  I grated a very small amount of Miyoko’s killer Smoked Farmhouse “cheese”, and a few drops of truffle oil on top of the fresh chives. Deliciously delectable.  🙂

 

Cabbage & Smoked Apple “Sausage” Stew

I’ve served this dish to cabbage haters who loved it, and to meat eaters who went back for seconds.  It’s a dish yet to disappoint, and another crock pot recipe – I love those!  While it’s technically fall, it’s still really hot here but that didn’t hold me back from making this last night.  I’m craving the feelings and flavors associated with autumn.  If you think about it, a crock pot is a great way to cook without heating up the kitchen! Works for me.
