A bowl of this delectable Russian potato-green bean-sauerkraut soup (or borscht) will satisfy your tastebuds and your need for something warming and filling on a cold fall or winter evening.  I have vegan-ized the recipe to eliminate any animal products and use an easy-peasy cashew sour cream recipe that you can find on our Veggie School site HERE , or feel free to use a commercial vegan sour cream (or even the real stuff if you are flexitarian). There is no flour thickener, so no worries about gluten. INGREDIENTS 1 T. Coconut Oil (or veggie oil of choice) 1 large or 2 medium Onions , cut in half and sliced thin 2 C.

Warming, delicious Curried Yam and Lentil Soup (Gluten-Free, Vegan) This soup was not actually demo'd in any of our cooking classes, but my good friend Mary Lou Johnson made it for a recent Church potluck and I feel that the recipe deserves to be on our website.  It's a 'brothy' curry soup, meaning that it isn't whirred up with a blender.  The flavours meld together so nicely, it was perfect during a time of joyful fellowship on a cool rainy day, and I'm sure you'll enjoy it too if you try it! INGREDIENTS: 2 T. Coconut Oil 1 medium Onion , roughly chopped 3 cloves Garlic , minced 1 T. fresh Ginger , grated 2 T. Curry Powder 1 tsp. Celtic Sea Salt (and those 82+minerals) 1/s tsp. Black Pepper 4 chopped plum Tomatoes (or 1- 14 oz. can chopped Tomatoes) 1 C. dry Green Lentils 1 qt./liter of Vegetable Stock or Water 1- 14 fl.oz. C.
