In Honor of National Soup Month:

Gluten Free Cannelloni, Kale & Potato Soup

A Vegetarian Healthy & Hearty Soup!

It has been beyond cold here in the North Georgia Mountains, and I don’t know about you, but here in our home, soups are as natural this time of year as grilling burgers and barbecue is in the summer. Personally, I get tired of the typical soups, so I am always looking for or creating new soups that are hearty, filling, comforting, as well as a soup that freezes well. 

Make A Huge Pot Of Soup, and Then Freeze Some

I know for me and my family the “freezes well” part of a soup is just as important to us as the other attributes of the soup. Sure, the other qualities are important, but for me, if I take the time to make a soup, I want to make a large pot of it, eat it for a few days, and then put some away in the freezer to pull out on those nights that I just don’t feel like cooking, or am just too damn busy. 

For us, Vegetarian Soups Must Be Hearty!

Here is our house, we do not need meat at each meal; actually, we enjoy our vegetarian meals, and soups are no exception. There is one mandatory quality for any vegetarian meal, whether it is a soup or not; it has to be hearty and filling. When a soup is all of those qualities: delicious, healthy, hearty, high protein, filling, comforting as well as freezes beautiful, I am in! 

January of each year happens to be National Soup Month, so in honor of that, we are happy to share with you a vegetarian, delicious, healthy, hearty, high-protein, filling soup the bonus that it also freezes great. We are happy to share with you:
