I am a firm believer that soup is one of mankind’s greatest culinary creations. When you think about it, there are not many dishes out there that are dippable, slurpable, and all-around irresistible, but soup boasts all of these qualities and then some! Growing up as a cooking connoisseur-to-be, I vividly recall soup being one of my earliest culinary experiments. However, being the rather creative and chaotic child I was, my recipes often incorporated a few unusual ingredients (the stars of my soup were grass and puddle water—if that helps paint a picture). I’ve since refined my definition of what is considered “edible” and have learned to swap grass clippings and puddles for herbs and broth. Although my secret ingredients may be a bit different now, soup still stands as my all-time favorite dish to make!
There is just something so satisfying and rewarding about throwing a few unassuming ingredients into a pot and watching it slowly simmer into a mouthwatering meal. I find this to be especially true during the chilly winter season when all I want to do is curl up with the biggest fuzzy blanket I can find and warm my hands and soul with an equally big bowl of soup.
This vegan golden soup recipe has quickly become a staple in my weekly dinner rotation with how easily it whips together. Packed to the brim with nutritious veggies and an enticingly complex blend of aromatic spices, such as turmeric, ginger, coriander, anise, and fenugreek. With a bit of help from an immersion blender to whirl all the flavors into a velvety, delectable soup, this recipe comes together in the blink of an eye. The only things missing? Friends and family to savor a steaming hot bowl of soup with and plenty of crispy bread for dipping—of course!
May each bite warm and nourish your soul!
