Cream of Zucchini Soup

This recipe is from Skinnytaste.  It was easy to prepare with only a few ingredients.  I liked this soup and would definitely make it again. Next time I will probably add an extra zucchini, I don't think you can add too many for this soup.

Creamy Potato Chowder

This soup from Oh My Veggies looked delicious. Plus, I was curious as to what a dairy free "creamy" soup would taste like!

I really enjoyed this soup - I can't quite describe the flavour but I know the hint of red wine had something to do with it!  I hadn't made cashew cream before - it really does look like cream once it's blended! This soup wasn't too time consuming to prepare and could be eaten alone as a meal.

A few notes:

• Instead of 4 cups of white potatoes, I used 3 cups and substituted the 4th cup with chopped carrots.  I made things even easier on myself by using mini potatoes which were quickly chopped into quarters (I left the peels on)
• Instead of 6 cups of vegetable broth, I used 4 cups broth and 2 cups water
• I excluded the garlic granules (which I didn't have) and included a minced garlic clove instead
• I used tap water instead of filtered
• My soup didn't turn out as creamy looking as the photographs by the author - not sure why

African Peanut Soup

This recipe is from the cookbook The 30-Minute Vegan: Soup's On! but you can find the recipe at Oh My Veggies.

I enjoyed this soup - it was nice and creamy and was extremely filling.  This soup was easy to make and I liked that I didn't have to transfer the contents into a processor to blend.  Although my pictures don't show it, there are lots of sweet potato chunks in it!

A few notes:

• I used natural peanut butter
• I omitted the optional Berbere spice
