Veganize this: Cream of spinach soup


So I had a bunch of left over spinach that was due to go bad so i thought i should try to use it. I quickly did an internet search and found a recipe that i easily adapted to be vegan. This recipe can be cream of any vegetable you have and I encourage you to experiment with other spices too. I promise, it's nicer than it looks :p

1 1/2 cups
 water

3 cubes vegetable bouillon

1 package  spinach

3 tablespoons oil

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

2 cups dairy-free milk

1 onion

2 cloves of garlic

½ can coconut cream

salt and pepper to taste


In a medium saucepan, combine water, bouillon, and spinach. Bring to a boil, and cook until spinach is tender.

Add oil to fry pan over medium heat. Lightly fry chopped garlic and onion then stir in flour, and cook for 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in milk and coconut cream. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened.

Combine spinach and onion mix and set aside to cool. Add to blender in 2 batches.


Wondering why one would even bother going vegan? I never gave it much thought before I converted but did you know that in order to get milk from the cows they have to be a) artificially inseminated to become pregnant, b) have that baby stolen from them shortly after birth and c) go on to either kill the baby as wastage or send it to become veal? The mother cow then mourns the loss of her baby, often crying out loudly for days. These are known as bobby calves. Happy mothers day indeed.
