Two super-easy vegan recipes

Mom cut out a recipe from a magazine and passed it along to me since she knew Richard loves pumpkin soup. Even better, the recipe is from Edensoy, so it is also vegan. The recipe for Quick Curried Pumpkin Soup is available at the Eden website.

I would hold off garnishing with the spicy pumpkin seeds until you're spooning into your mouth, otherwise they get soft and chewy. The Eden pumpkin seeds are really tasty... love them! Next time I make this I'm going to add a tablespoon of garam masala because, well, I love garam masala. (I pretty much put it in everything...)

I also wanted to do something with cauliflower and didn't want to steam it since my big pot was in use with the soup. So, a couple minutes with Google and I came across a roasted cauliflower recipe on the Simply Recipes site.

Instead of Parmesan cheese is use Galaxy's Parmesan Vegan topping. I love the lemon flavor in this recipe. This was a big hit with Richard as well.

Aside from being vegan, the best thing about these recipes is that they were so easy and the pumpkin soup was very fast.

It's funny... I have a huge collection of cookbooks but I'm finding that some of my favorite recipes are off of the Internet or clipped from a magazine. Someone needs to remind me the next time I'm in Border's that I don't need to buy any more cookbooks!
