Below is the extremely decadent and rich dark chocolate mousse/raspberry torte...
...and here is a chocolate covered espresso almond torte.
Probably with some sort of ginger sauce.
was a different soup or chowder concoction. Below we have seitan dumpling soup.
This is my first dumpling soup ever, and it was as rich and comforting as I imagine its origins meant it to be on a cold winter night.
a bowl of the yummy bone-warming elixir.
vinaigrette, using fresh juice from tangerines and lemons.
I believe this to be a thai peanut-noodle dish with lightly sauteed kale, carrots, peppers, and ribbons of raw daikon. (topped with a squeeze of lime and a sprig of mint)
here are all the garnishes for diners to greedily pick and choose from:
peanuts, carrots, mint, basil, lime, jalapenos, serranos, green onions,
mung bean sprouts, and cilantro
putting it all together, we start with the noodles.
add some color and texture: thai marinated tofu, shrooms, bok choy, and green onions.
Add your sauce (sadly I don't remember everything I threw into the sauce, but if you want to make your own pho, I suggest starting with an authentic pho sauce recipe, omit the beef broth, and throw in some of your own flavors to bring back the depth and "hardiness" of the broth. It tends to be very intricate...a lot of ingredients!). Serve with garnishes and enjoy!
My neighbor was sick with some sort of cold/flu conglomeration, so I made her a beans and greens "get well" soup. She reported that her sinuses cleared almost immediately, and she was feeling good again within a couple of days. The broth was very strong in fresh ginger, cayenne, and garlic, and I tossed in a medley of kale, swiss chard, carrot and beet matchsticks, onion, kidney and black turtle beans.
This is a miso/chickpea/macaroni soup, also inspired by a recipe in the aforementioned Veganomicon.

This is an African "peanut egglant" soup....I mostly followed the recipe from Veganomicon (same fabulous authors from Vegan with a Vengance).
OMG I want some right now!

Whilst I am certain there were more soups in the marathon, this seems to be all of the pictures I retained. That's ok, there are bound to be some super soupy days ahead! Besides, I think I've found some other images in my repertoire that I may have to entice your greedy little devouring eyes with. But I will save that for a separate post (possibly another one today).........that way I can feel all caught up and gooshy inside, and who knows.......one day, just maybe, purrrrrrrrrrhaps, I will do this right and start giving out recipes! That was the purpose of this blog all along, right? Well, alas, though I may have failed at everything else in my tiny little life, at least I am a PRO at crastination!!!
honk honk!

That pho looks amazing! I haven't had pho since I went vegan and I want to reach through my screen and eat it. All the other foods look yummy as well.
