Sausage Recipes for the New Vegan

These three easy vegan sausage recipes each use a different plant-based protein: lentils, tofu, and vital wheat gluten. They're perfect for new vegans looking to recreate old favourites without sacrificing taste or texture. 1. Vegan Breakfast Sausage (Lentil-Based) Vegan Sausage Patties- Generated by Fire.fly AI These little patties are perfect for a weekend breakfast or a hearty brunch.

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.

Delicious Creamy Green Bean, Potato, Garlic Soup - Vegan, Gluten-Free

Image
This Green Bean-Potato-Garlic Soup is an invention as the result of coming home from the Church fellowship dinner with about a pound of cooked organic Green Beans (the really long ones that you get in the freezer at Costco, if you're lucky-- *Family Tradition* Brand). The beans had already been frozen and thawed, I didn't want to risk illness by going through the process again.  And I confess, I'm hooked on green beans. Before cooking this soup, assemble, measure out and prep: ~Garlic Cloves, slivered or minced (quantity up to you) ~1 pound Green Beans, bite size pieces ~4 medium large Potatoes, peeled and diced ~1/4 tsp. Marjoram powder (or other desired herb) ~Filtered Water, to cover ~1 C. Almond Milk (unsweetened)   ~Salt and Pepper to taste ~Daiya Shreds for garnish (optional) (or other vegan cheese, or not) Add all ingredients above (except the Almond Milk, Salt and Pepper and Daiya Shreds) to a large pot and bring the water to a boil. ...
