The Best Vegetable Soup

Soup season has arrived for most of us and I say bring it on. There is nothing better than a cozy bowl of soup on a chilly day that just feels like the ultimate food hug. It’s hard to pick a favorite soup for me, because I have so many that I love, but a classic vegetable soup is always high on the list in my opinion. Vegetable soup can sometimes be bland and lack luster in flavor, but I am here to tell you that this recipe for the best vegetable soup is going to change your mind about how tasty a bowl of vegetables in a delicious broth can truly be. I amped up the flavor in this recipe to make it the ultimate vegetable soup that you will crave all season long.

Roasted Cauliflower and Spinach Grain Bowls

Roasted cauliflower is one of my absolute favorite winter time vegetables! I am definitely the person who needs to make an extra batch for my family because I end up snacking on it as soon as it comes out of the oven and tend to eat half of the pan myself before I have even served dinner. But beyond roasting, cauliflower is so versatile and I love incorporating it into any meals where I can! It’s truly a vegetable that is a jack of all trades if you will. From roasting, to pureeing, to everything in between, cauliflower is the veggie for the job! I love a good bowl situation during the week where I can add veggies, a grain, and maybe a fried egg and dinner is done, and cauliflower is the perfect veggie to add to any bowl mix up. My roasted cauliflower and spinach grain bowls are seriously one of my new favorite dinners and you are going to love them too!

Miso Butter Sweet Potatoes with Roasted Chickpeas

January always seems to be the month that goes on forever and ever. The weather is always a bit (or a lot) chilly depending on where you live, calling for lots of cozy food. In addition to soup, potatoes are the next best thing to stick to your bones if you ask me! I love using sweet potatoes as much as I can because they are more nutrient dense than a regular russet potato. Sweet potatoes are so versatile and while they are delicious on their own just with a little honey and butter, I love to add savory flavors as well. Stuffing sweet potatoes is a great way to add a variety of flavors and you can create an entire meal with them that the whole family will love. My miso butter sweet potatoes with roasted chickpeas will quickly become a weeknight favorite and the best part is, they are loaded with flavor and nutrition!

BBQ Black Bean Burgers

Y’all know by now that I am a burger girl through and through. I just can’t help myself, I love a good burger and it was the #1 thing I craved when I was pregnant with my son. We make burgers almost weekly at our house and while usually I always opt for a meat burger, I like the option of a vegetarian burger also from time to time. I am the first to admit that I have rarely eaten a black bean burger that holds a candle to a regular burger, but I may have just made a recipe that was just as satisfying to me! My BBQ black bean burgers are easy to make, healthy, and gosh darn delicious too!
