Super Soup!

Super Soup!

Don’t you just love soup! When the weather is cold, rainy or just dull, a bowl of steaming soup is just the thing to warm you up and brighten your day! 🙂 We usually have lentil soup in our house, or a tomato based chickpea or kidney bean soup, so when I saw this delicious soup on Deborah’s blog at Urban Naturale, I knew it would go down well! Of course, I’ve made a few changes – although the recipe was such that I could have made it word for word, but the thing with soup is you can chop and change ingredients depending what you have in! This is warming, filling, spicy and full of goodness! Great to have in the fridge to quickly feed unexpected guests! 😀 Yumyum! Here’s my version!

Of course, I’m going to share my version of Deborah’s soup with her! Come on over to the Plant Based Potluck Party and join in the fun! 🙂

Gather

  • Oil (I used coconut oil)

  • 1-3 cloves fresh garlic or 1/2- 1 teaspoon dried
  • 1 fresh tomato diced
  • 2 teaspoons Cajun spice
  • 1 teaspoon coriander
  • 1 teaspoon oregano

  1. Melt or heat the oil and add the leek. Cook until starting to brown then add the garlic.

  7. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
  8. Enjoy!
