One of My Favorite Soups

Vegetarian Times red pepper and carrot soup has been one of my favorite soups for years now. It's one of a few recipes that I've made so often I have it memorized, probably forever! I  whipped up a batch yesterday with a few changes. I added a few potatoes for extra thickness, and I added turmeric to help with my minor aches from my fall. I also added a small red jalapeno. I never roast my red pepper, I have before and I don't notice that much of a difference in taste, so it seems like an unnecessary step.

I served it with some rice noodles I needed to use up. I love the beautiful, vibrant color. It's like liquid sunshine.  So tasty. This is one of the first vegan recipes I fell in love with after going vegan.
I had leftovers this morning with some brown rice, nooch and a sunshine burger "crouton". It's even better the next day, as most soups are.

And last but not least, of course Afro and Kanye were cuddling this morning. They always like to sleep in the sweetest little positions and it melts my heart every time!
