i am awaiting to have my cracked tooth fixed next week so can only eat soft foods -no raw vegetables or my daily apple:( do you have any MWL soup recipes for me ?thanks!!

Oh...sorry about your tooth! This takes five minutes:
Veggie broth, garlic, ginger, frozen peas & carrots, and some cooked brown rice. Heat & eat!
P.S. Add a squirt of Srirachi if you like spicy!

thank you so much julie!

My favourite is Spicy Tomato Soup.
Quantities are approximate, as I never weigh the ingredients!

2 tins of chopped toms, add tomato purée also if desired.
A couple of carrots,
2 chopped onions,
Garlic,
About 6/7oz red lentils,
2 or 3 veg stock cubes,
2tsp cumin,
2tsp coriander ( cilantro?)
Chilli to taste!
Water, not sure of quantity, roughly about 4 pints.

I just chuck all into the pressure cooker, pressure for no more than 10 mins, then blend.
Delicious!

You can also make a very tasty soup using any (no-fat) refried beans (or mash your own beans!) diluted with either water, veggie broth, a can of diced tomatoes, or rice (or other veggie) milk--add whatever spices you like, and if you want, add a can of creamed corn (again, you could spin corn in a blender a bit, but I'm trying to make this easy!).

I like to make things in large quantities so I have something to eat all week long. I made Lentil Chili and Refried Beans over the weekend. I'll eat the refried beans with cilantro lime rice. I got the ideas from Lindsay Nixon's weekly plans.

I found a recipe for refried beans on the internet. http://simplefoodieliving.blogspot.com/ ... -free.html

For the chili, I used a whole bag of dried lentils and 2 cups of veggie stock and almost two cups of H2O (depending on how dry it becomes) chili powder, a 28oz can of whole tomatoes, chopped, garlic, onions, and chopped hot pepper. Whatever else you want to add. Cooks up in about 45 minutes.

Hi Chewy

Hope you are doing OK with the tooth.

Slow cooker: onion, carrot, parsnip, sweet pot ie root veg to your taste. When cooked to your preference, throw in a handful of greens, pour into blender or use a hand stick to a smooth consistency.

Take raw sprouted legumes, blend with fresh raw greens, serve.

Slow cooked split peas/onions - yellow are nice - with tomatoes blended in towards the end of cooking time. Fresh is best but canned is handy.

Lately I am adding a teasp. miso paste to my soups before blending, for a delicious fullsome savoury flavour. And sea vegetables to mineralise.
