Vegan Creamy Potato Soup

Tonight, I’m going to share with you the great recipe I promised I would using the Silk creamer from yesterday’s vegan review. I’m talking about a delicious creamy vegan potato soup!



I mean seriously, who wouldn't want to try this soup?!

Here’s what you will need:
Soymilk
Silk Soy Creamer Original
Fresh Garlic
One Onion
Chili Powder, Salt, and Pepper 
Olive Oil
Stick Butter
Potatoes
Bay leaf

Directions:
1. Finally chop 2 cloves of garlic and 1 medium onion.

2. Sauté the onions and garlic in a little bit of olive oil in the bottom of a large stockpot.

3. When they begin to brown, mix in 10-12 medium to large potatoes, that have been peeled and chopped into small pieces.

4. Let these cook down, remembering to stir frequently.

5. After about 5 minutes or so (when the potatoes start to soften) pour in 2 cups of silk soy creamer and 2 cups of soymilk to the mix.

6. Add in the bay leaf, about 1/8 teaspoon of chili powder, a dash of salt, and several dashes of pepper.

7. Immediately bring the mixture to a boil and let boil until the potatoes are mash able.
8. When the potatoes are ready, turn the mixture down to a simmer and mash the potatoes.

9.  When the potatoes are mashed, mix in one stick of vegan butter (I’m using Blue Bonnet Lite).

Serve and enjoy!

Meatless Monday: Sautéed Veggie Platter



Today’s Meatless Monday recipe is unique, in that I didn’t actually make it; but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

It’s not just a flash back to this 2007 commercial. 

I went away this weekend for a little R&R and quality time with my Mom. 

This morning, I was trying to pack up my stuff and check out and get back home in time for work SO I got food from the hotel restaurant, where they whipped up this delicious meal. 



As you can probably see, it's sautéed vegetables. This particular plate has tomatoes, broccoli, mushrooms, onions, and potatoes; with a side of toast. 

This is something that you could easily recreate with whatever vegetables that you like. 

A great traveling tip, is to take some food essentials with you so that if somehow you can't find something to eat, you can have something with you. 

I packed a half a stick of Blue Bonnet Light and kept in our fridge, so I was able to butter my toast. :) 

If you try recreating this, let me know how it turns out!
