Easy Weeknight Black Bean Soup – a hearty, flavorful + surprisingly vegan black bean soup. Sweet, smoky and completely satisfying. Hi friends! Popping in quickly to direct you to the recipe for one of my favorite soups of the season: an easy, vegan black soup that is so loaded with flavor yet deliriously simple to prepare. This Easy Weeknight Black Bean Soup was inspired by one of the first black bean soups I ever made, back when I was home from college for the holidays and had not a care in the world but poring over cookbooks (Nigella was having … Read More

10-Min Vegan Cream of Broccoli Soup

Easy Vegan Cream of Broccoli Soup recipe (via thepigandquill.com) #healthy #dairyfree #glutenfree #vegetarian #mealprep

Vegan Cream of Broccoli Soup – a super simple, healthy cream of broccoli soup packed with fresh flavor, bright color and creamy, cozy vibes — and made entirely without dairy. I love soup. As a kid — and even early into adulthood — I was a sucker for canned soup. The bloated, squishy, noodles. The melt-in-your-mouth carrots. I adored them. And then one day, somewhere around my cooking-for-roommates college years, I heard Rachael Ray insist that, “If there’s one thing you don’t need to buy canned, it’s soup. It’s just too easy to make good soup from scratch.” And, much … Read More

Instant Pot Miso Red Bean Stew recipe | vegetarian + gluten-free (via thepigandquill.com) #dinner #mealplanning

We’re hot in the midst of a pantry purge. I think I mentioned when I was raving about these Chocolate Banana Muffins. It’s been more than a month since we’ve bought any packaged or pantry staples (aside from those required for client work), and so far we’ve seen very little sacrifice in the quality of our meals. I’d even go so far as to say we’ve markedly improved the way we eat. (This stew is a fine example, but I’ll get there.) Here’s the gist. Each weekend, we hit up the grocery store or, if possible, the local farmstand and … Read More

Creamy Hummus Soup with Crispy Soyrizo Gremolata (Vegan)

Creamy Hummus Soup with Crispy Soyrizo Gremolata (Vegan) (via thepigandquill.com)

Like so many recipes that find their way to this space, this soup was a happy accident. A well-meaning attempt (and I do mean well-meaning, as not a corner was cut!) at Kenji Lopez-Alt’s intriguing Israeli hummus recipe — more on what makes it so intriguing later — watered down, quite literally, into a slurpable meal worthy of your soup spoon. Too many times I’ve daintily tucked pita into a creamy bowl of restaurant hummus while every fiber of my being screams good lord woman, eating it by the oversized spoonful is the clear winner of all ideas ever! And too many times, apparently, I’ve … Read More

creamy white miso + cauliflower soup with candied furikake prosciutto + garlic chive oil

The way I see it, there are two kinds of people in this world: those who enjoy having a mirror directly across from their glass-enclosed shower, and those who do not. And it’s simple. You don’t need any Myers Briggs BS to tell you which camp you’d fit into. Hell, you don’t even need to actually have a mirror directly across from a glass-enclosed shower to determine on which side of the line you fall. Just thinking about it right now, you already know. See? I’ll give you one guess which group I’m finding myself in these days. I don’t know that it has … Read More
