Being vegan couldn't be easier! This blog is aimed to show that vegan food is far from being salad and beans and that crafting without animal products is not just making hemp bags like a hippy commune! Quick, easy, tasty and fun. These recipes are for those who want quick, simple yet tasty and nutritious food, not to mention cheaper than the non vegan alternatives.

Creamy lentil, leek and potato soup
Ingredients:
1/2 an onion, diced finely

1 bay leaf, parsley and basil (or a bouquet garni)
salt and pepper to taste (not a lot of salt as it is in the stock)
