I love food that is just slightly
spicy, that’s full of flavor, don’t you? So its not surprising that when I brainstormed
the perfect menu for last week’s Angels on Earth luncheon, this recipe was my
first choice. Cardamom and cayenne both play a role in making this soup – super
savory!

When it’s a cold day, full of
sunshine, there’s nothing like soup to make me happy. This one is full of
flavor, will fill you right up – and no one will notice that it’s meat free.
This super easy and delicious recipe is also gluten free and vegan, so you can
enjoy serving it to any of your friends or family members that are on restricted
diets.
