Vegan MoFo ~ New Friends!

Today's prompt for Vegan MoFo is...Reach Out!  Make a new vegan friend!  Well I think that is what makes Vegan MoFo great!  Each year I find new vegan friends online that I treasure long after the month is up!  I consider ANYONE who has visited my blog and commented to be in that group this year.  You can visit them on my BLOG ROLL post and if I have missed anyone please let me know!  Someone I really want to throw a SHOUT OUT to is someone I 'met' prior to this years Vegan MoFo and I absolutely LOVE their blog!  This person is great!  Some may know them as Vegan Peace others may know them as Vegan Power or perhaps you know them by the name of My Cat Loves Daiya which is the title of her blog!  No matter what you call her she's great and so is her blog!


I'm so happy I found her blog or she found mine either way she's great!  Funny thing is - she used to live about an hour to an hour and a half from me and I didn't even know it until about a week before she moved to the other side of the country!  BUMMER!  BUT...at least we have the blog world, right!  Another reason I would like to do a shout out to this person is because she's a great commenter and last week she made a comment on one of my posts and suggested I do a Tomato Soup!  Well, I took her up on the challenge and made the soup you see here!  It's a Vegan Tomato Cream Soup!  It only has 3 main ingredients with a few optional ingredients or ingredients you can add to taste.  Here's what's in it... 5 Tomatoes, 1 Avocado, 4 Sun Dried Tomatoes, and Basil Leaves, Sea Salt, and Cayenne to taste.  Special Thanks to Vegan Peace for this suggestion/challenge!

  1. Your post seriously made me cry! Thank you so much, and in not planned news I talked about you on my post today! I am so glad we connected! That soup looks amazing, I'm making it this week. It looks so rich and creamy, and it's the perfect time of year for it!! It almost looks like it has cashews, or some other of cream in it!

  4. Soup? It looks very thick, like the hummus my missus made for my girl over the weekend - she loves it! She loves thick and rich soups too, pumpkin especially.

    1. It was thick and fluffy most likely because of the Avocado I'm thinking!
