Quick and Easy Green Pea Soup

 


This recipe is for a quick and easy green pea soup-- no need to buy that dry paste that never really hydrates in your cup when you can have a lovely thermos of home-made soup that you can easily make in the hour before you leave for work (or before you go to bed).  This soup is vegan and gluten-free.

INGREDIENTS:

2 medium onions, chopped

4 cloves garlic, chopped

1/2 teaspoon dry dillweed

filtered water to  cover (about 1 inch above vegetables)

3 C. Frozen Peas

A sprig of leaves from Fresh Thyme, or about 1/4 teaspoon of dry Thyme

1 teaspoon - 1 tablespoon Miso (to taste)

Salt and Pepper to taste

1/2 C. nut, soy or oat milk

This soup is highly digestible because it doesn't contain any visible fats or oils.  We are adherents of Dr. John McDougall's The Starch Solution: Eat the Foods You Love, Regain Your Health, and Lose the Weight for Good!*

Saute the onions, garlic, and dillweed in about an inch of water, boiling for about 4 minutes or so. 

Add in the peas and fresh thyme (1 leaf of the broadleaf thyme/Cuban oregano or perhaps 2 T. of chopped regular fresh thyme), bring to a boil and simmer for about 25 minutes.

Add Miso, Salt and Pepper (to taste) to the carafe of your blender.

If using nut milk, whirl up in the blender with about a Cup of the soup fluid

Add in about 1/2 to 3/4 of the hot soup to the carafe as well.  Carefully blend until smooth.

Add back into the soup pot and stir together.  My husband really likes this soup a lot!

Spunky Monkey DIY Vegan Chocolate-Chia Ice Cream

Vegan, plant-based, and 100% delicious! This creamy homemade ice cream will win over everyone— no politics, just pure joy. Vegan and Delicious: Everyone Will Love This! Sometimes the word "vegan" evokes strong feelings like anxiety (as in "Please don't take away my meat") and/or hostility (as in "What a bunch of commie flakes all vegans are"). There are probably good reasons for both of these passionate emotions because we frequently come across strident, fear-mongering diatribes online blasting us from the ivory towers of the most raging animal-freedom activist or the highly evangelistic plant-based health advocate. "Plant-based" is an alternate description for a lifestyle choice to eat from the array of fruit, greens, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. Using the term "plant-based" instead of "vegan" may be less intimidating. It even sounds like, although the diet has a plant-based foundation, it possibly includes meat and eggs...

G7 2025: Why It Matters

  57th G7 Summit- Wikipedia commons. What is the G7? 🤝 The Group of Seven (G7) is a forum of seven wealthy, democratic nations: Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, and Japan, along with the European Union . It started in 1975 as the G6 to coordinate responses to global economic shocks like inflation and oil shortages. Canada joined in 1976 to form the G7(1). Russia was briefly part of the group (making it the G8), but was expelled in 2014 after invading Crimea (2). How Does It Work? The G7 is informal — there’s no permanent office, headquarters, or constitution . One country hosts the summit each year and sets the agenda. Leadership rotates annually among the member countries in a fixed order (3). The summit itself is usually a 3-day event where world leaders meet in private for discussions, photo ops, and joint statements (although this year’s format is changing — more on that later). What’s the Point? The G7’s original mission was to tackl...
