Meatless Monday – Chickpea Tomato Soup

Chickpeas are a great source of protein, among other things, but the taste is somewhat pronounced. The tomatoes in this soup do a great job of blunting the chickpea flavour, as the chickpeas help add a creaminess to the soup – a match made in vegan heaven!

Meatless Mondays – Thai Pumpkin Coconut Soup

I think this soup would be perfect for summer and could even work as a cold soup.  It’s on the sweet side because of the pumpkin, so if you aren’t a bit fan of sweeter soups then throw in a bit more spice and a pinch more salt to offset this.  I took this recipe from The Vegan Slow Cooker by Kathy Hester but I made it on the stovetop.

Meatless Monday – Spiced Lentil and Cauliflower Soup

My dad showed me this recipe in the Sobey’s grocery store flyer.  He even sent me a container along with the recipe so that I’d give him some to try – as a finders fee.  This warmly spiced but not spicy soup is great for winter.  And the lentils provide some great lean protein!

Meatless Monday – Creamy Butternut Squash Soup

Since going vegan I have become much more aware of where I’m getting my protein so I try to sneak it in any time I can.  This soup not only tastes delish but it packs a whopping 10g of protein per cup!  That’s pretty much equal to eating a serving of chicken (11g).  Not too shabby!

Vegan Cheese, Kale and Broccoli Soup (Gluten Free)

Ever wonder what you should do with the broccoli stalks and kale stalks after you’ve taken all the florettes and leaves off?  I hate to waste it, or even compost it, so I make soup.
