Vegan Cream of Mushroom Soup

I am very much aware that I am late for Thanksgiving, but if your family is anything like mine, we eat *just about* the same thing for Christmas.

Queue this Cream of Mushroom Soup recipe! 

This came out SO good! I got plenty of compliments over the weekend from all kinds of people, and that alone helps solidify that this is better than your ole' can of Cream of Mushroom Soup for Green Bean Casserole!

I just followed my typical Green Bean Casserole recipe with this as an addition, and boy was I surprised!

I plan on uploading all of the recipes that really worked out for me this Thanksgiving, so take what you want for future reference, or do like me and make it for Christmas dinner too!
Ingredients: 
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1/2 of a White Onion (diced)
8 Cloves of Garlic (minced)
1 lb of White Button Mushrooms (chopped)
1/2 Cup of Flour
2 Cups Unsweetened Soy Milk
2 Cups Vegetable Broth
1/2 Teaspoon Nutmeg
1/2 Teaspoon Dried Thyme
Salt and Pepper to Taste

 Directions:
1. In a pot (or large tall sided pan) over a medium heat, add olive oil and heat through.

 2. Add in your onion and garlic, sauté until onion becomes clear, making sure not to burn you garlic.

 3. Add your mushrooms and cook those until lightly browned, stirring occasionally.

 4. While those cook down combine soy milk and flour into a separate bowl stirring until combined, then adding to your pan/pot. 

 5. After you have given that a good stir through, add your vegetable broth, as well as seasonings and bring to a simmer. Make sure to stir constantly as your sauce will begin to thicken.

 6. Once thickened remove from heat, and allow to cool. (I made my soup the night before and placed it in the fridge until I was ready for it on Thanksgiving!)
For my green bean casserole I just threw my 4 cans of organic unsalted french cut green beans, this Cream of Mushroom Soup, and topped with fried onions and baked at 350 degrees.

 It is your choice to make home made fried onions on top, but I just used store bought ones as I was already making everything else from scratch!

Although I am a stay at home mom, I feel like I am always running around absolutely crazy. I mean... I do have a toddler, so you can excuse the mess right? Any who.... One pot (or pan) dishes are my favorite thing in the whole world. At the end all you have to clean up is the pot, your cutting board, knife and the plates and utensils you used during dinner. And if anyone doesn't see the allure of that... then we can't be friends... just kidding. I've always loved quick fulfilling dishes so I came up with this One Pot Tomato Asparagus Mushroom Pasta. And ya'll this one is so delicious... and simple! Trust me, it really is simple, it took no longer than 30 minutes. And that speaks to me! What you will need: 1 16oz package of Pasta (your choice) 1 bundle of fresh Asparagus (frozen is also ok) 3-4 cloves of garlic (minced) 1 cup of chopped mushrooms 1 1/2 cups of halved cherry tomatoes 1/2 of a large red onion (diced) 1 tbsp olive oil 2+ cups...

Vegan Pho

Vegan Pho When I moved back to California, I was introduced to Pho by my husband's cousin. And boy did I fall hard! I mean, it has this amazing broth over these delectable rice noodles, and comes in many options. What is there not to love? Since becoming vegan, we never go out to eat anymore. Half of it is due to finances, and the other half is because I am honestly scared of going out and being fed something that is indeed not vegan. So my solution has been to stay at home, research and try to make my own vegan cost-friendly options! And it has been working! -so far- (makes enough for 4 servings) Ingredients:  2 Star Anise 4 Cloves A pinch of red chili pepper flakes 1 6 inch piece of Ginger (halved) 1/2 of a yellow onion (halved) 2 teaspoons light brown sugar (or rock sugar, found at many asian markets) 2 tablespoons salt (more or less to your liking) 1 cube of Vegetable Bouillon 7 button mushrooms (sliced) 2 medium sized carrot...

Vegan Minestrone Lentil Soup

According to typical Southern California weather, it has actually been feeling like fall! And like how my usual days go, I think ALL day of what I want to make for dinner. I oftentimes find myself thinking of all the things I used to make before switching to veganism and how to make it successfully. So as I was doing my chores around the house I began thinking of things I used to enjoy, and ended up on my patio cleaning up there when it hit me. Fall. Fall hit me, and as mentioned earlier I'm in the Southern California region and it hasn't felt much like fall lately. Sure... we have a chilly day here and there, but it hasn't -felt- like fall until now! Fall for me is being all cuddled up on the couch with a nice warm blanket and a nice hearty bowl of soup like my mom used to make. And that soup for me, has always been Minestrone.  I hope you enjoy this recipe that I have complied for you! And don't forget to let me know if you've made it and how you liked...
