Soups

All soups, here.

My two favorites, which I make all the time, are Madame Benoît's Pea Soup and my Persian Red Lentil Soup.

Two-Ingredient Pumpkin Muffins

Here's a recipe that seems to have been around for a while—it's all over Pinterest and the big recipe sites—but I'd never heard of it till my friend Soyung alerted me to it today. It's brilliantly simple, vegan, and perfect for the season.

Two-Ingredient Pumpkin Muffins

1 box of spice cake mix (most are vegan)
1 15-oz can pumpkin

Mix together. Bake at 350 for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

If you want to make it as a cake with frosting, many of the commercial ones are vegan, or make a simple white icing like this one.
