SO EASY. SO GOOD!
That soups looks amazing!
Thanks Lisa! I love it!
Yum, a vegan hot and sour soup. Down 4# since Sunday.
Yum, a vegan hot and sour soup. Down 4# since Sunday, despite a couple bad eating choices.
Jill, you are a machine! p.s. the hot and sour soup has less than 200 cal. per serving!
I like that, as long as the serving size isn’t a tablespoon. LOL hahahaha
Nope, a generous 2 cups, like all the others
Yum! I love hot and sour soup, but have never made it before. And I’ve never heard of Braggs liquid aminos before – what do they do?
Oh! The liquid amino’s are just a healthier, gluten free version of soy sauce. I love them. You could totally do this with soy sauce and swirl in a beaten egg for a more traditional hot and sour soup.
Hot and Sour is the one thing I used to have to order every time we’d go out for Chinese!
You are totally inspirational. Do you coach others?
Um, no
Not really qualified. Full time mom, part time blogger. Maybe someday! JL Goes Vegan is a great coach though, and she has all the credentials!
OK…not finding the apple pie smoothie. Is it another link? That looks awesome.
Oh, it should link to the recipe, but I’ll give it to you hear, I’m in love with it:
2 small apples
2 C. greens (I used spinach)
1 banana
1 T. apple butter
1 C. water
1 1/2 C. ice
1 t. ground cinnamon
stevia to taste
Enjoy!
Just watched another great documentary on Netflix. Hungry for Change. Awesome!! Put it in your queue.
Haha! All ready watched it. For some reason I was waiting for something else or some sort of instruction from that one that never came. But it was good!
That soup looks great.
Thanks Jean-Francios! It’s pretty close, minus the egg of course
So delicious and satisfying Somer!
Hope you are enjoying the weekend

To be honest I’m struggling today, but I’m hanging in there. Weekend is usually when I bake treats…. Not this one

So I have been doing this for two days now and I really like it! I like the energy that I have (not that I was low on it to begin with). I followed your black bean soup recipe and made one small change. I love to have a smokey flavor in my foods so I used my Cameron’s stove top smoker and smoked the beans before adding them to the soup and it turned out great! Thank you for posting this challenge it has greatly reduced my frustration!
So glad you are enjoying it so much! I’m loving the lighter feeling for sure. The smoking the beans idea sounds fantastic! Brilliant idea!
Great ideas. I might try the hot and sour soup as I have some tofu waiting to be used. The Frozen wasteland reminds me of Calgary on a typical winter day.
It’s a great way to use up tofu for sure! Even more snow and freezing today!
you are unstoppable! i want this soup!
Soup looks so yummy! Great for a chinese food craving!
What kind of blender do you use? I’m looking to upgrade and I’ve heard wonderful things about the Vitamix blender but it doesn’t look like you’re using one, and your results look great!
Waw! What a nutriously looking soup! Yum & dead easy too! I love your smoothies too!
