Frequently Asked Questions
There are several here. The Cumin and Coriander Lentil Soup with Kale is spiced with warm whole spices and is vegan, gluten-free, and freezer-friendly. The Potato and Lentil Soup is heartier and great for colder months. The Tomato and Lentil Soup layers in a tomato base for something a little brighter. All three are one-pot and ready in under an hour.
Traditional miso soup is often made with dashi, a Japanese broth that typically contains fish flakes (bonito), so it is not always vegan by default. However, it is easy to make a fully vegan version using kombu-based dashi or vegetable broth instead. The Vegan Miso Soup with Tofu and Vegetables here uses a plant-based broth and is loaded with tofu, mushrooms, and greens for a complete bowl.
he Easy One-Pot Mexican Bean Soup is one of the most popular recipes on this site. It is made with black beans, pinto beans, corn, tomatoes, and jalapenos in a smoky spiced broth. Everything goes into one pot, it is ready in 45 minutes, and it keeps well in the fridge for days. It is also naturally vegan and gluten-free. Serve it with avocado, tortilla chips, or a squeeze of lime.
Most bean and lentil soups here freeze beautifully. The Cumin Lentil Soup with Kale, Chickpea and Spinach Soup, Black Bean and Corn Soup, and Hearty Vegetarian Chili all freeze well for up to 3 months. Cream-based soups like the Creamy Tomato Soup can also be frozen, though the texture may change slightly on reheating.
Yes – there are two gazpachos that require zero cooking. The No-Cook Gazpacho is a classic blended tomato and vegetable version that comes together in a blender in minutes. The Avocado Cucumber Gazpacho is a creamier, greener take with avocado and cucumber. Both are served chilled and are great for summer when you do not want to turn on the stove.
