Lately, it seems like everyone around me is coming down with the flu.

Ughhh…yuck. Unfortunately, I still have to go out into the world and be around all the sickies even though I’d rather just stay in my safe little bubble at home.

I refuse to get a flu shot so I try to focus on naturally boosting my immune system by taking supplements (vitamin c, zinc, elderberry, oil of oregano) and eating whole foods that are immune system boosting.

The easiest way for me to get a boat load of immune system boosting foods into our diets is by putting them all into one delicious and hearty soup!

I also like to make this nourishing lemon artichoke orzo soup when we start to feel a cold coming on.

We finally had a cold snap in Florida last weekend!

It was so wonderful! We did all the wintery things that we could do just in case we don’t get any more cold weather this month. We drank our coffee outside under a mountain of blankets each morning, we wore cozy socks, and we snuggled on the couch by the twinkling Christmas tree while watching a Christmas movie.

Oh, and we ate lots and lots of soup!

Soup is one of my favorite meals to cook, especially comfort food soups like slow cooker jackfruit & wild rice soup or creamy vegan broccoli cheese soup. Travis only wants it when its cold out so I had to take advantage of his willingness while I could get it.

I wanted something bright and soul quenching; a hearty, nourishing soup that tastes like pure sunshine. This loaded lemon artichoke orzo soup recipe is exactly that. It tastes like comfort food but you know it’s good for you so it’s a win-win! …

Surprise!

This chicken wild rice soup recipe doesn’t have any chicken in it!

You won’t miss it, I promise.

Just because we’re vegan doesn’t mean that we don’t love rich and creamy soups with broth so thick that it coats the back of your spoon.

On really cold nights, my go-to recipe used to be animal-based chicken and wild rice soup. You know the soup, it’s loaded with chicken, cream, butter, etc.

We had our first cold front of the season last week and we have another one coming next week so I started thinking about how I could recreate our old favorite cold-weather recipe.

Last week, Hurricane Irma barrelled through Florida and knocked out most of the state’s power. We lost power at our house for almost one week after Irma hit us. Thankfully, our home had very minimal damage and I had stocked up on enough non-perishable vegan items to last us until the power came back on late Saturday night.

We were lucky enough to have a week’s notice to prepare for the hurricane, so it gave me time to go through the fridge and freezer and cook up some of my stockpile in case we ran out of gas for our generator.

I had a huge 10lb bag of carrots in the fridge that I didn’t want to lose so carrot soup was the last meal I cooked before the storm hit. I’ve been dreaming of it ever since!
