Happy Cleansing!
Below is a picture of my shopping cart from Costco yesterday. I filled it with yummy whole foods to stock my fridge. I wouldn't be able to shop there if it was just my husband and I, but I have a Great Dane and she eats a lot, so we go to Costco. It makes grocery shopping easier and cheaper.
Since it has been so cold out I wanted to make something really comforting for dinner tonight. I found a recipe on Pinterest, Hungarian Mushroom Soup. I thought I would try it and tell you about it. You can see that I bought a bunch of mushrooms at Costco with this recipe in mind.
I used two sweet onions, and a lot a lot of mushrooms.
The recipe was vegan, but not gluten free, so I made some slight adjustments. Instead of soy sauce (which contains gluten), I used low sodium Tamari. I also purchased some all purpose gluten free and just swapped it in place of regular flour. It turned out just fine. There is also a picture of this vegan bouillon, I like this Rapunzel brand because it is tasty. You need to watch out for bouillon because a lot of times it is not vegan and sometimes it can contain MSG, which we all want to avoid. I used almond milk tonight because I thought it would have better flavor than soy, and it was good.
The soup looked like this before I added in the almond milk.
It was so good just like this I almost thought about leaving it, but since I have never made this recipe before I tried to follow it closely. In the end I added twice the amount of fresh squeezed lemon juice, and added another tablespoon of tamari to give it a little extra zing. I also used fresh dill instead of dried and probably used a little more than they said to use, but I cook to taste and it tastes better the way I made it.
I was making dinner tonight for my husband and I and so when he got home from work, we had some appetizers. I didn't make it fancy, but I wanted to show you these delicious gluten free crackers, "Flackers." I like the savory kind, they are so good. I also picked up this vegan walnut paté from the North East Coop by my house, and it is good. I think the Wedge makes a better one, but this one is still good.
Here is the finished product. My husband and I both thought it was delicious and we want to put it in the "make it again" category. It was a delicious and comforting, hearty soup for a cold winter day in Minnesota. Here is the link if you would like to make it yourself.
I like to make soups to have on hand because when I come home I am usually ravenous and then I can just warm up whatever it is I've made and I have something healthy and delicious. I also like to make a variety of things, I'm not sure if I'll have time tomorrow because I have a pretty busy day, but I would like to share with you a vegan butternut squash polenta that I have made before and it is again, very comforting and delicious.
Good luck with your cleansing, I know it is hard, and it is cold outside so that makes it harder, but keep up the good work!
