This hearty vegan soup is chock full of good stuff, including what may seem like a crazy amount of parsley, but it is exactly the right amount of parsley – and only $0.69 a cup. Nice. As I write this, it is mid-March. Not exactly the peak of soup season, but here in NYC it’s…

February 2021, as with every month that preceded it in the life of this food blog, did not go as planned. I got some stuff done, didn't get other stuff done, and did a whole bunch of recipe testing.
