Vegan Cream of Mushroom Soup | Vegan Richa

Since the kitchen has decided to not like my presence much, I decided to open up the blog to some guest posts and introduce you to some amazing friends and bloggers. All special and awesome!

Starting off the first Wednesday Guest post with Somer.
Where should I begin.. Somer has been busy being her super woman self.. being featured on Forks over Knives(testimonial), co-hosting VVP, being an amazing mom, whipping up delicious, healthy and easy vegan fare, a Kick ass blogger, and a very sweet and beautiful person. I found her blog via Kristy and have been hooked since.:) 

I mean look at the ridiculous Macadamia Nut Brie en Croute(pictured below.. I had to feature that picture Somer), and these Black bean burgers with the prettiest pretzel buns and more and more.

Give it up for Somer at Vedget Out! 
You can also find her on Facebook and Pinterest. Drop by and say hi:)..

I’d like to think if I was able to go to Richa’s house and bring her some lunch, that I’d bring her a big bowl of this soup. Feel better soon girl.

      It was one of those foot in your mouth moments Shira. Ah well, Richa says she likes them in small amounts and she’s going to give it a go over the weekend. Hopefully she won’t gag 😉

    1. vedgedout.com says:

      haha! Mine were the mushroom and the tomato. Buh Bye… 🙂

    2. Richa says:

    3. Richa says:

        Just made this soup!!!! It’s perfect. I questioned the cashews, but stuck to the recipe. Even my meat lovin’ husband did not suspect I traded healthy nuts for half and half. Everybody loved it. I would not change a thing.

  8. Sharanya says:

    Love the recipe,any alternatives to cashew, my vegan kid loves shrooms but has nut allergies and yes, both you ladies rock!!
    Feel better soon ,Richa

    1. vedgedout.com says:

      You could try silken tofu and increase the nutritional yeast a bit, or try soy creamer…. 🙂

    2. Richa says:

      tofu, coconut cream, some cornstarch to thicken it if you like it thicker..:)

    3. vedgedout.com says:

      Oh, of course! Coconut cream would be lovely.

  9. vedgedout.com says:

    Somer
