Soups

It's Vegan MOFO, y'all! If you, like me, have never heard of it before, that's The Vegan Month of Food.

Since I missed the inscription day and well, have been behind on my blogging, I sadly cannot officially participate, can I. The idea is to write about being vegan (or food or both) for each day of the month, but since I'm well pass the day-by-day food diary I'll just skip, thank you.

I also have been having computer troubles, since it has taken me a month or so to even install some Photoshop alternative freeware so I can tweak photos and stuff. Which reminds me I still need to do some work for photobooks and cookbooks and my oh my, look at the time fly.

I've also been away the past few, 10 days, on holidays visiting Corsica. I've only just returned home, full to the brim of junk food, unseasoned meals and the forbidden dairy products, such as fluffy croissants, butter, cream sauce, cheesecake, other cakes, and, oh my, cheese. Lots and lots of cheese & wine and some chestnuts, too.

Corsica wants independence, to be its own country, but if you just take a look at breakfasts (cafe' & croissant) and sidewalks (doggie poop alert!) you can rest assure that the island is as much french as Paris itself.

I might be posting more pictures on the topic in the following days, as long as my vaccant mind returns to work. In the meantime, since it's vegan MOFO and all, I have been cleaning up the junk with soups. Lots and lots of soups. Having my pretty purple lunch box helps a lot and the soup stays toasty warm until lunch time.

Right after returning from holidays, my partner got himself a bit of a cold, what with the AC and all, and I made him some Cauliflower & Carrot Soup that put him right back to his feet (and me, too).

Then for today's lunch I made Broccoli Soup, just because it's good, and I am having it tomorrow, too.

I started collecting vegan recipes for reference so I can make my own personal cookbook of favorite recipes and meal ideas. As I was listing down the Soups I actually counted so many, I could cook a different soup everyday for a month and more! How great is that?

Actually, I adore soups. They're filling, warm, healthy, easy to make & to store, you can put them in a lunchbox and eat at work and so on.

What's your favorite soup?

Day 220 & something. Not counting.
