Guest guest Posted December 4, 2004 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 These recipes are my own and I know that December most of us are in a hurry and we don't have much time to cook, these soups can all be made within a day and frozen in freezable containers so when you come home all you have to do is pop the soup in the microwave and wallah... you have a nice hot filling soup within a few minutes that you created... VEGAN LENTILS: 1-32 oz ( 2lbs ) pkg Lentils 4-stalks celery cut into bite sizes 3-large potatoes of your choice 4-large carrots cut into bite sizes 1-bunch of asparagus cut into bite sizes 1-bunch fresh spinach 1-Tblspn minced garlic low fat vegetable broth a dash of white pepper fresh celantro or parsley ( optional ) clean and drain the lentils, cook lentils in the broth adding a cup of water until tender it won't take long. cooking time varries upon your stove but I use my pressure cooker it cooks faster this way but you can cook them in a pot if you wish. clean the veggies while the lentils are cooking,once the lentils are tender add the veggies to the pot. once the soup is done you can freeze it in single serving freezer containers. SPLIT PEA AND VEGGIES: 1-32 oz ( 2lbs ) pkg green split peas 6-large carrots cut into bite sizes 1-med onion diced 1-bunch fresh spinach dash of lemon pepper low fat vegetable broth clean and drain the split peas, cook peas in the broth adding a cup of water until tender it won't take long. cooking time varries upon your stove but I use my pressure cooker it cooks faster this way but you can cook them in a pot if you wish. clean the veggies while the peas are cooking,once the peas are tender add the veggies to the pot. once the soup is done you can freeze it in single serving freezer containers. FIFTEEN BEAN SOUP: 1-32 oz ( 2lbs ) pkg of 15 bean soup 6-large carrots cut into bite sizes 1-med onion diced 3-large potatoes of your choice 1-Tblspn minced garlic a dash of white pepper low fat vegetable broth clean and drain the beans, cook beans in the broth adding a cup of water until tender it won't take long. cooking time varries upon your stove but I use my pressure cooker it cooks faster this way but you can cook them in a pot if you wish. clean the veggies while the beans are cooking,once the beans are tender add the veggies to the pot. once the soup is done you can freeze it in single serving freezer containers. Variations can be made of the veggies that you like altho I have found that the veggies I have used are balanced in a harty soup such as mine. Enjoy!

Never mind - we really need them more NOW, don't we ;=) You're quite right - any soup that you can make in a short time in large quantities and freeze is worth its weight in, well, liquid gold LOL I shall be placing them in the Files over the weekend!!!

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 These soup recipes look delicious! I'm just wondering what to do for tea now. My BF gets in at 7.30 so i have about an hour and a half - alhtough i am busy doingt other things too! We've got left over vegan bolognaise so maybe that in a casserole dish with a light crumble topping and some veg. I like to vary things - i can't have striaght bolognaise 2 days running. I know this is kinda OT but i'm feeling pretty proud of myself. Took part in my first AR demo on Saturday at Heathrow Airport. It was a bit scary because the police stopped the car after and took our details etc. I had to keep telling myself " You haven't done anything wrong! You haven't broken any laws! " . It really made me realise how the big companies have the police in their pockets - even before they knew the demo was at the airport they were following members of AR groups and tapping their calls! Amazing! I felt like i was on a top secret mission! But anyway, thats enough of that - just wanted to share to get it out of my system! Hope everyone is wrapping up warm. Its bloody freezing here! ~* Laura *~ ReadingFairy Set your books free! http://bookcrossing.com/friend/Reading-Fairy Still a Vegan Vixen!

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 Well congratulations are in order - a big step to take part in your first AR demo! Sorry to hear the police were being so dreadful - they feel it incumbent upon themselves, it seems, to make life for concerned citizenry as unpleasant as possible. Well, you not only didn't do anything wrong, you actually did something very very right! Good work! And I hope you enjoyed your tea - recycled spag and all (sounded like a neat thing to do with it) - you were owed a good meal after all your crises at Heathrow. Go ahead - feel proud of yourself - it's allowed LOL And we're proud of you too. Best love, Pat ;=) > I know this is kinda OT but i'm feeling pretty proud of myself.
