    I made the creamy white bean soup this morning and it was so very flavorful & amazing. I didn’t have the orzo pasta, so I used Arborio rice and I cooked dried beans for this dish.

    The bean soup is delicious – thank you!!! looking forward to trying the others 🙂

  5. Hi! I absolutely LOVE your recipes. You are sooo talented! Thanks for sharing!! One question on the white bean soup… you mention it’s made with tomatoes but I don’t see them mentioned in the recipe. When do you usually add them and what type do you prefer? Thanks!!

  6. Made the broccoli cheddar soup and it is great! However, I don’t use vegan cheese often and it was a bit too cheesy for me, so the next time I make it I will be halving the cheese. Other than that it came out great! Very cozy comfort food for winter.

  7. I never comment on recipes but I had to on this one. It was amazing and so easy (also very filling). There was something in it for everyone. I will definitely be trying some other recipes from this site. Glad I found this one!!!
