Vegan MoFo #11: Creamy Chipotle Yam Bisque

Good morning, Tuesday.  Here I am with another easy, warming soup recipe.  Avocado is involved. 

Creamy Chipotle Yam Bisque

1 heaping cup diced yam (carrots are a great substitution too)
1/2 avocado
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon lime juice
1 cup warm water

Blend until creamy and warm.  Garnish with more avocado!

I love the combination of spicy chipotle, creamy avocado and sweet yam.  Fall is really great this year.  I'm savoring every moment. 

Vegan MoFo #10: Raw Vegan Carrot Ginger Soup

 
Aaaaah Monday!  Soup will make it better, right?  I'm kidding, really.  I don't mind Mondays, but I wouldn't mind having a weekend extension.  I'm not kidding about the soup, though.  I'm totally on a soup binge right now.   It's a wonderful, warming way to stay healthy and raw when the weather turns cold.  And it's SO EASY.  Perfect for weekday meals. 

Carrot Ginger Soup

1 cup diced carrots
1/4 cup cashews
1 small clove garlic
1 teaspoon diced ginger
1/2 tablespoon maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon lime juice
1 cup water

Blend in a high speed blender until smooth and warm.

This is great with crumbled up flax crackers stirred into it right before serving.  For a high raw option this would be delicious served with a scoop of quinoa or brown rice.

Due to my current obsession with soup I'll be featuring a few more recipes this week.   This is the first time I've been into making raw soup, so it's fun new territory to explore.  Hope your Monday is fantastic.
