Vegeterian Tips: It s true ladies and gentleman! Certain fast food restaurants are now offering veggie burgers, as well as salads. While most of the salads may come with chicken or meat, you can ask them to leave it off. Just be careful of the dressings, as most have tons of sugar and calories. You also have baked potatoes, or fruit and yogurt options.
Ingredients (use vegan versions):
- 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves organic garlic, minced
- 1 small organic onion, chopped coarsely
- 2-3 organic leek bulbs, chopped into rings and separated
- 2 organic carrots, chopped into coins
- 6 cups purified water
- a few dandelion leaves (make sure these are food grade, not just from your lawn, unless you live away from dogs and lawn-chemical pollution), chopped
- fresh organic parsley, chopped
- 1 organic potato, chopped, optionally peeled
- 2 vegan vegetable boullion cubes
- 2 teaspoon white pepper (black is alright, but white is more aesthetically pleasing)
- 2 teaspoon ground vegan mustard seed
- 1/2 cup plain Silk soymilk
- salt to taste
Directions:
This is my own invention- a sort of
Breton peasant-style soup with a creamy
luminous color- great on a cool spring
day. I don”t bother peeling the
potatoes, because as long as they are
organic all you get with the skin is
extra nutrients and character!
1. Heat oil in a very large pot. Add
garlic, onion, and leek, and saute for
four minutes, or until slightly golden
and soft.
2. Add carrots and potatoes, saute for
another minute.
3. Add water and boullion cubes, heat
to boiling.
4. Stir until boullion dissolves, lower
heat to medium-low, cook until potatoes
and carrots are soft, maybe 20 minutes.
5. Add dandelion greens, stir.
6. Add pepper and mustard.
7. Stir in soymilk.
8. Add salt to taste and garnish with
chopped parsley.
9. Serve hot with crusty vegan bread, and enjoy!
