100 Ways to Thicken Homemade Vegan Soup
Discover 100 vegan ways to thicken watery soups without flour, plus tips to adjust flavors, reduce liquid, and achieve perfect consistency! Perhaps you have followed a delicious-looking recipe for homemade soup and found, after the prescribed cooking time and more, that the soup is still very watery. While you were not necessarily in quest of a cream soup, did you want something more... substantial? Well, with a better ratio of chunkiness to liquids? And if you are against using wheat flour, whatever the reason might be, what can you do? If you have potatoes or carrots in your soup, you can separate them, cooked soft, and blend them up to return to the soup-- that will help thicken. Same with other starchy vegetables-- blend up at least a portion of the cooked soup and you will see the results you are looking for. Cooking down the soup over a longer period of time-- say, an hour or so on simmer-- will also reduce the fluid levels. Keep an eye on the soup so that the pan doe...
Blueberry-Hibiscus Latte
A blueberry hibiscus latte, sweetened with maple syrup, offers a creamy, caffeine-free burst of summer. Perfect for cozy chats or solo sips! Here is another tasty hot drink that doesn't keep you awake at night with a caffeine surge. The blueberry flavor reminds me of my BFF Linda because we went through a period of drinking blueberry tea when we met for our little world-fixing chats back in the day! I actually have quite a few blueberries in my freezer, so this is something I can enjoy often. I guess you could also make this latte using both hibiscus and blueberry tea, but I think most blueberry tea powders have something in them to amp up the flavor and you are probably better off using something more natural. But you get to decide! Ingredients: (about 2 servings) *1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries or 2 tablespoons dried blueberries 💚 *1 tablespoon hibiscus tea or dried hibiscus flowers 💚 *1-2 tablespoons maple syrup or agave (to taste) *1/2 cup coconut or almond milk (for ...
