Soup & Pan-Asian Sides

The Chef: Joseph

The Menu: A hearty, soul-satisfying seven-bean soup paired with two Asian-cuisine-inspired sides, and a tangy salad rounded out today's lunch. Joseph spent his Sunday night cooking this delicious bean soup from scratch, and boy were we grateful he did. Our savory main was comprised of broccoli, nutritional yeast, and seven different varieties of beans including pinto, kidney, and lima. Trader Joe's supplied the tasty veggie-filled gyoza and edamame, and a rich salad of mixed greens, avocado, carrots, and mushroom finished off our Monday meal.

The Goods: It's a quiet Monday at the VNHQ, as several of our staff members are out of the office for the day. Did they up and leave work for a luxury vacation to India? As far as we know they did not, but come October 2010, they very well might! Interested in coming along on this all-vegan dream vacation? Of course you are! Sign-up today to join VN publishers in our first-ever VegNews Great Adventure to India. The trip is already half sold-out, so reserve your spot today!
