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.:)Â
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!Â
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.

Thank you for the guest post Somer! This soup is being shared at  Allergy Free Wednesdays, Rickis wellness weekend










Just made the soup (with a slight change)and it is fabulous.
This soup was delish !! I did not have sherry and vegetable broth. And I cannot believe that soup came out still so good without these 2 ingredients. Thanks for sharing recipes. I am pinning tons of recipes and trying too from your web.
This looks fantastic, I cant wait to try it. And with winter upon us in South Africa, no more of a perfect time than now!
Gotta love a good mushroom soup! Especially one this versatile. Thanks for sharing…

I LOVE Somer too- she is the greatest! This soup is my kind of comfort food, simple, creamy and comfy cozy – what a great start to the Guest Post Roulette Richa!
Is there anything better than Mushroom Soup? Ok, I know Richa can probably think of a million things better, but seriously, it’s one of my favorites! And I love this version from one of my favorite bloogers! 🙂
Do you have any suggestions on how to make this cream of chicken? What does the nutritional yeast do? I do not have any so could I leave out? I am not vegan so could I sub w/ something else?
Somer is the best! She has such a big heart and generous spirit. Plus, I just love seeing what’s coming up in her kitchen. This cream of mushroom soup sounds lovely!
