October is Vegetarian Awareness Month.
Being a vegetarian or vegan has changed a lot since I was a child. It’s easier to do now and many more people have embraced the lifestyle or even started incorporating aspects of vegetarianism or veganism into their everyday lives.
We are not strict vegetarians in our household, but we actively try to incorporate more vegetarian or vegan meals into our diet.
This soup—Ginger Carrot Soup—is one of my favorites. I have previously published a vegetarian version of this flavorful soup, Roasted Ginger Carrot Soup, which can be made vegan by experimenting with the whipping cream. There are vegan versions available or you can make your own.
Or you can check out this one, which is originally vegan.
Both versions are delicious.
Make one or both!
Enjoy!
