With all the cold weather lately, I’ve been in a soup mood. It’s pretty hard to mess up soup and you can always freeze leftovers so it’s a win-win kind of meal. Here’s a variation I made this week.

Spicy Kale Soup
Adapted from http://veganplanet.blogspot.com/2009/01/spicy-kale-soup.html
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large yellow onion, chopped
1 carrot, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced (I use a garlic press)
2-3 Yukon Gold potatoes, diced
6 cups vegetable broth/water
1 teaspoon salt (more or less, depending on the saltiness of your broth)
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes (or to taste)
1 bay leaf
1 bunch chopped fresh kale
1 16 oz can chickpeas

Saute onion and carrot until softened and onion is translucent. Add the garlic, potatoes, broth, salt, oregano, red pepper flakes, and bay leaf. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes. Add chopped kale and continue to cook for another 15-20 minutes. Add chickpeas, cook for 5 minutes. Serve with french bread to offset the spiciness.

making these Vegan brownies for my Grandma’s 94th birthday tomorrow! The top of these brownies sometimes have a strange looking texture, but it’s easy to just sprinkle some powdered sugar on the top and make it much less noticeable. They’re really delicious!

from http://www.myveganplanet.com/vegan-recipe/easy-vegan-brownies/

• 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
• 2 cups white sugar
• 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Pour in water, vegetable oil and vanilla; mix until well blended. Spread evenly in a 9×13 inch baking pan.
3. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until the top is no longer shiny. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before cutting into squares.
