Organic Chickpea and Carrot Curry Soup - Vegan and Gluten-Free

 

Organic Chickpea and Carrot Curry Soup
Quite often I decide what to cook based on what I have in the fridge-- what veggies are malingering, waiting their turn, feeling left-out?

 What precious sauce did I make a couple of days ago that is only half-eaten? Did my husband mention something about wondering what I had planned for those carrots?

 That is how tonight's organic chickpea and carrot curry soup came about-- the bag of carrots that were starting to go a little brown on the tips... oh, and all those delish chickpeas that I cooked up the other day that I partly used for that yummy Avocado-Chickpea Hummus...

  INGREDIENTS

  • 2 T. Coconut Oil
  • 1 medium Onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic, chopped fine
  • 1/2 tsp. organic Curry powder (I used Mild, you pick your own bite)
  • 1/2 tsp. Cumin seed, ground in the coffee grinder
  • 1 thumb-to-the-joint piece of Ginger, grated
  • 6 Carrots, chopped
  • 2 C. pre-cooked Chickpeas/Garbanzo Beans (or 1 15-oz. can, rinsed)
  • 5 C. Water or Vegetable Broth
  • 1/2 C. unsweetened Coconut Milk
  • Celtic Sea Salt to taste

METHOD

  1. Melt and heat the Coconut Oil over medium heat until fragrant.  
  2. Add in the Onions and then the Garlic, and stir occasionally until limp and glistening
  3. Stir in the Spices
  4. Add the Carrots and the Chickpeas with the 5 cups of Water or Broth (or a combination).  Cook until the Carrots and Beans are totally creamy-tender.
  5. Remove about a cup and a half of the soup, and set aside.  This is optional and I do it because I like the texture of some beans and carrots in the soup-- reminds me of my lovely experiences with real Indian Chickpea Curry.
  6. Blend up the soup with Coconut Milk -- use either a stick/immersion blender or a traditional blender carafe (cool a little first).  
  7. Let people use Celtic Sea Salt to add to their own liking when you serve the soup in individual servings.

Black Bean-Kale Soup - Vegan, Gluten-Free

Today I was out doing some tentative Spring gardening (cleaning up the plot, seeding some baby lettuce).  I was hanging out with our "kale trees"-- tall, gnarly tree-like plants that snake along the surface of the garden and then abruptly shoot upwards.  They grow for many seasons like this.  They bolt to blossom and seeds fairly early, but there are always lots of somewhat leathery, small leaves. I love these "kale trees" and decided that it was time for a kale soup-- so this Black Bean-Kale Soup was born! INGREDIENTS: 1 T.   Coconut Oil (or Olive Oil) 1       Organic Onion , chopped 1       Organic Red Pepper , seeded and chopped 3       Organic Garlic cloves, chopped 2       Organic Carrots , peeled and shredded (or chopped) 1       Organic Sweet Potato (orange flesh), chopped 2      Large handsful of organic Kale , slightly chopped 2  C. "Simply Natural" Organic Tomato & Basil Pasta Sauce (or Tomato Sauce, etc.) 6  C. Filtere

Vegan Sourdough Waffles

Great vegan sourdough waffles These waffles are super Thank you for your kind words and compassion my friends-- except for Ed's pain in his finger, all is well. And today is sunny and hopeful! May you each have a grand day today-- be blessed! Think healing. Think success. Think peace. Think happiness. *As a person thinks, so are they. Psalm 23:7* Today we had an accidental contact with the new stove that shattered the outer glass surface (exterior to the door glass), and a few minutes after attending to that-- with sweeping and phoning re the warranty, etc. (a runaround with AI and some call centre folks with some mutual not-understanding}-- I accidentally slammed Ed's finger while pushing in a drawer. Poor guy, his nail has already turned black. and yummy. Sourdough has probiotics in it, and a lovely flavor, although the pancakes will not have quite the healthy sour taste that bread has. 1.

The Lemon-Garlic Mixture Recipe that Chris Wark (Chris Beat Cancer) Recommends

My husband and I are both over 70, and while we have the odd age-expected ache or pain or fallen hair or swollen ankles or whatever, we have avoided many of the BIG Diseases: Heart Disease, Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, Arthritis, Cancer-- but we have had family with these diseases and there is a good chance that we will have something like this hit at some time.  That is the way of the world these days, is it not? So, to be proactive and preventative, we believe that "Food is Our Medicine" and we adhere to a Whole Food/Plant-Based way of eating. We also watch a lot of those health seminars that mesh with our way of thinking that plants/herbs are the answer-- or at least our first rule of order when we feel ill.  We loved the Chris Beat Cancer series because, well, who wouldn't?  Chris is a charming young man with a friendly, compassionate mission to help others learn about how they too can beat cancer without (or only as a sideline) chemo or radiation.  In his Square
