Soup again?

Yes yes, I've been a neglectful blogger. Anyhoo, I haven't cooked much of late, but here are some recipes that fit the Eat to Live program. First up, Vegan Dad's cauliflower soup (thanks to Happy Herbivore for pointing out this recipe). I made it as the recipe states without the oil and salt and it was quite bland. I was pondering what magic ingredient to add when the bf suggested making a curry soup. Brilliant! Some curry powder, cumin, coriander, and red pepper flakes were added and the result was a spicy curry cauliflower soup with no salt or oil. Everyone is happy.

Next up, the chickpeas romesco from Veganomicon. I made this once again without the oil, and I also omitted the almonds. It was really good, I enjoyed the tanginess of the sauce....a lot. Since following Eat to Live I've been eating a lot of chickpeas. And I mean a lot. I love how versatile they are.

My camera really hates taking pictures of red things in artificial light. Oh well. As an aside, the Eat to Live program has been going great, it's been just about two weeks. I feel great!

Lobs I used to make a cauliflower soup from the Fit for Life cookbook that was cooked cauliflower, water and seasoning, all blended in a blender & heated. It was delish! Your post reminded me I need to make it again.
