Easy Plant Based Dairy Free Roasted Vegetable Soup

Easy Plant Based, Dairy Free Roasted Vegetable Soup

This is the easiest plant based, dairy free, roasted vegetable soup you will ever make! It’s a quick weeknight meal and a great way to use up all of the vegetables in your fridge. Honestly the more colorful the better! (It may not look the prettiest when it’s all said and done but soooo many good vitamins and nutrients for you!) And even better, there’s like no measuring involved. Serve with some warm, crusty bread.

 

Easy Plant Based Dairy Free Roasted Vegetable Soup

Ingredients:

  • 4-5 cups of roughly chopped veggies (any kind, whatever is in your fridge).
  • chopped garlic
  • olive oil
  • salt/pepper
  • milk of your choice (I used coconut)
  • nutritional yeast
  • sage/thyme (optional)

Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Place your chopped veggies on a large baking sheet.
  3. Add some chopped garlic, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle some salt and pepper then toss until evenly coated.
  4. Bake for about 30 minutes until the veggies look nicely roasted.
  5. Remove from the oven and pour into a large sauce pot.
  6. Pour in your milk of choice, covering the top of the veggies.
  7. Using an immersion blender, blend until smooth. If you like your soup less chunky add more milk.
  8. Sprinkle in some nutritional yeast for that cheesey flavor, more salt and pepper to taste. If you want to give it more of those cozy thanksgiving flavors, sprinkle in some sage and thyme too!
  9. Serve with warm crusty bread or top with pasta (the boy’s favorite).

Plant based meal ideas

plant based meal ideas

Over the past month, I’ve been really making an effort to eat a more plant-based diet. For me, it was a personal choice to adapt a more healthier lifestyle as it has been shown to reduce chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and cancer as well as aid in weight loss. I’ve never been a big meat eater, but this girl loves her dairy (give me all the half and half in my coffee and cheese please!), and I would do a salad with chicken for lunch daily. And with a big meat eating husband, at first I really had no idea what to make for lunches or dinners. But after some experimenting, I’ve found some favorites!

Below I’m sharing some of my favorite plant-based meal ideas. Now I would just like to say, that no one is perfect and I am a big believer of “everything in moderation”. Do I follow this 100%? No, I’m more 80/20.  Even if you eat plant-based 1 or 2 days a week, you’re making an effort to be healthier and be more sustainable for the environment. (Read more about my tips on how to transition to plant-based here).

Breakfast

Ok so I have never been a big breakfast person. Usually it’s just 1-2 cups of coffee for me. But I did have to swap out my beloved half and half. I really really love Califa Farms vanilla almond creamer, that’s been my jam!

If I do eat breakfast it’s usually

 

Lunch

  • Shaved kale and brussel sprout salad with cooked lentils.
  • Bean salad with lavash.
  • Smoothie bowl
  • Bento Box or Snack Plate – Stuffed grape leaves, veggies, hummus, fruit
  • Butternut squash soup – here’s my recipe!

 

Dinner

  • Quinoa stuffed peppers
  • Lentil Sheperd’s Pie (This is the recipe I used)
  • Taco bake with Lightlife meat substitute
  • Stuffed spaghetti squash with sauteed spinach, vegan cheese and Primal Kitchen’s vodka sauce
  • Chickpea pasta with butternut squash sauce (I used my butternut squash soup as a sauce)

 

Snacks

 

And that’s pretty much it! I’ll add to this list as I experiment more. If you have any favorite plant based or vegan recipes, comment below!

CrockPot Butternut Squash Soup

  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups of coconut milk

  • olive oil for browning the onions

Directions:

1.) In a saucepan or skillet, pour some olive oil to coat the pan. Add the onions and sauteed until browned.

2.) Drizzle some olive oil into the bottom of the crockpot to prevent sticking. Add the chopped butternut squash, onions, and apples.

3.) Pour in vegetable broth and add spices.

4.) Stir well.

5.) Cover and cook on low for about 8 hours.

6.) When the apples and butternut squash are tender, add the coconut milk.
