3 Healthy Vegan Soup Recipes for a Cold Day. :)

I love soup, and I have for as long as I can remember. Vegetable was my favorite for a the longest time, but when I started experimenting with different recipes and daring to try new foods, I found that I love many many kinds of soup as much as I did my former favorite. There is something so satisfying about homemade soup, and it lasts a few days so that cuts down on cooking as well, which is sometimes a good thing. :) (BTW, if you are redoing your kitchen with modern furniture or looking for new kitchenware, you will find lots of possibilities here.)  Without further ado, here are a few of my favorites...

1. Lentil soup is one of my most favorite homemade soup recipes. It always turns out excellent, and it is so satisfying and yummy! I prefer to sprout lentils rather than soaking them to reduce their phytic content, as I don't care for the texture of soaked lentils.

2. Black bean soup is super satisfying and so so good. It tastes good with a bit of parmesan cheese or parmesan cheese substitute added.

3. The following picture does not begin to give this vegetable soup with adzuki beans justice- only a taste will! :) This soup is so full of healthy ingredients. You can buy adzuki beans at Whole Foods, or online. Read some of their health benefits here.
