Have you tried hemp foods?

Packed full of antioxidants, essential fatty acids and plenty of protein, hemp is an amazing superfood, particularly for vegetarians and vegans. Here's a few hemp superfood recipes to try:

Three new vegetarian soups

Three new vegetarian soups to try this week. Enjoy!

Black bean and plantain soup The last time I flew back home from the Caribbean, there was a woman on the plain who had a giant carry-on bag overflowing with branches of green plantains. Folks in the Caribbean really love their plantains! If you have a source locally, try them out in this simple black bean soup recipe.


Creamy French onion soup Yes, French onion soup is of course traditionally served either in a bread bowl or with crusty bread and melty cheese on top, but what's a single vegan to do when she wants an oniony soup without too much trouble? This French-style creamy onion soup is the answer.


Crockpot cheese and potato soup If you like cheese soup or potato soup, this is a simple and easy version to prepare at home in the crockpot or slow cooker. Just add all the ingredients, turn it on, and you'll have a delicious homecooked meal ready to go when you are. Use a gluten-free vegetable stock to make this potato and cheese soup recipe completely gluten-free.
