How to make healthy vegan soups

It's easier than you think to make amazing plant based soup that tastes just as good as its counterparts

  • Layering flavors. We're talking onion, garlic, super flavorful broth, spices, fresh herbs, more veggies, and SALT! Don't underestimate the power of salt and a squeeze of lemon for brightness. The key to a flavorful soup is slowly building the flavors.
  • Adding umami: A bit of soy sauce, miso, or tomato paste go a long way in adding that savory flavor.
  • Don't skip the fat. Cook the veggies in plenty of extra virgin olive oil for flavor and mouthfeel. Use non-dairy milks or cashew cream to make amazingly creamy soup sans the dairy!

Now break out your pots and slow cookers because we’ve got a whole lot of healthy soup flawlessness at our fingertips!

    For your crockpot mushroom, barley, and lentil soup, could you do it on the stove instead of a crock pot just by sauteeing the vegetables first, then adding everything to the pot to simmer for awhile? I don't have a crockpot, but I'd love to make that recipe.
