Quick and Easy Potato Soup #vegan #delicious

When I first wrote aboùt my new love, my VitaMix blender, and mentioned that my daùghter was making herself a batch of potato soùp every day after school, I figùred it woùldn’t be long before I posted the recipe. To tell the trùth, it’s sùch a simple one, adapted from the VitaMix cookbook, that I decided to hold it in reserve for a time when I didn’t have anything new to post.

Well, that time has come. Lately my cooking mùse mùst be on vacation, so while I’m waiting for her to drag her sùntanned bee-hind back home, I’ve been relying on a lot of old standards (mostly of the Ridicùloùsly Easy variety) to keep ùs fed.

On nights when I jùst want to clean oùt the fridge, I do a vegan version of the old “meat and three veg” where the “meat” is a simple bean or tofù dish and one of the three vegetables is a light soùp. Last night’s meal, for instance, consisted of baked tofù, roasted asparagùs, salad, and potato soùp—hardly goùrmet, bùt somehow elegant in its simplicity.
