#191 The Case of Carrot Ginger Soup

1 tablespoon onion

2 cloves garlic
1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger root
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
pinch cayenne
1 lb carrots, chopped
1-1/2 cups cashew milk
1/4 teaspoon raw agave syrup
1 pitted date, soaked in 1 cup warm water (118ºF or below)
salt
pepper

Pour all the ingredients, including salt and pepper to taste, into a high-speed blender, one with a soup function.

Wrap the upper part of a battery-operated electronic meat thermometer probe in plastic wrap so it doesn't get covered in Carrot Ginger Soup. Hang it in the blender by its conduit and secure it with the blender lid so that there is NO WAY the probe can descend into the blades. I even hold on to the conduit while I'm blending because I don't want the probe pulled in further.

Blend until your Carrot Ginger Soup reaches 118ºF.

Taste and, if necessary, add more salt then blend a bit more.

Pour into bowls and enjoy!

Serves 3.

#110 The Case of Poutine

" P outine is a typical Canadian dish (originally from Quebec ), made with French fries , topped with brown gravy and curd cheese ."— Wikipedia N utritionists worldwide may be screaming in horror that poutine has captured the world by storm but, proud Canadian that I am, I'm shouting, "Yippee!" To be sure, vegetarians are reputed to eat more along the lines of tofu, broccoli and brown rice but an occasional poutine won't kill us. In fact, fast-food poutine makes quite a comforting indulgence! Did you know that poutine gravy, which is generally made from a mix, is vegetarian? Valerie of McCormick Canada Inc. confirmed to me by phone that Club House Brown Gravy Mix contains no meat products. Silly to write out a recipe. All you do is sprinkle French fries with cheese curds then pour brown gravy over top. For a vegan version, crumble vegan feta on French fries then pour vegan brown gravy over top (Bisto Instant Gravy...
