a few of our favorite soup recipes

Soups are so easy to freeze. We make a couple of them each weekend and then freeze them in individual servings, so we are able to select one for an easy lunch of soup and salad. The recipe calculator i use does not have an option for low sodium vegetable broth, so the sodium will be higher than it actually is.
These are four of our favorites - No Cream of Mushroom, Vegetarian Soup, Butternut Squash Soup, and Cream of Broccoli. All four are vegan and grain free.

The No Cream of Mushroom soup serves 4. The roasted mushrooms and cauliflower make such a difference in the flavor of this soup. We have made other vegan cream of mushroom soups and this is our favorite.
