Soups and Sammie

So I've realized I haven't been putting any prices of things on here. (bad me bad!) So here are a few cheat long lasting things. First a sammie i stole from my best friend my version of it.

Avocado Bagel

Very easy supper quick lunch. All you need is
1 Ripe avocado (about a buck where i got min)
1 multi grain or spinach bagel (either 55 or 70 cents were i get them a piece)
toaster

Simply slice and toast the bagel and as you wait open slice up and get the seed out of the avocado.  Easiest way to de pit it is set it on the counter wack a good knife into the pit twist and put out and remove the pit form the knife with a dish towel of some sort being careful of the knife. Then slice the strips of avocado while still in the shell then use a spoon to scoop out the good bits. The bagel should be done by then. Just arange and enjoy. Other additives with the avocado could be earth blance and tofuttie better then cream cheese.


Next up super soup!

Spring Asparagus Soup

So this is kind simple too. Just some chopping and wizzing in a blender. Plus you can save the left over stock for more soup later in the freezer.

For this you will need


2 Bunches of Asparagus (i found some nice ones for a dollar a bunch)
Half a package of button mushroom (used the other half later in Alfrado so only about 75 cents in each meal)
1 can of Veggie stock (got mine during the can can sale for 40 cents)
2 Russet potatoes (that's like another buck in them because we paid i think 3 for the bag.)
Salt and pepper to taste. 
Around three glasses filled with water
Couple of shakes of chili powder
Good sized pot
Blender

So chop up your veg and throw it into the pot. Next add your stock and water. It should just cover your veg.

Turn the burner on medium to medium high and add your spices. Let it come to a boil then knock the heat back to let it simmer. 


Turn off the heat after seeing if the potatoes are fork tender and move it to your blending area.



Load it up in parts and take the cork out of the top of your blender and cover with a towel so you don't crack or pressurize anything. When your done simply pour into bowls to store or eat right away. You can garnish with either Chive to add an onion bite or save some tips out of the pre cooked soup and arrange prettily.
I normally store since its all to much for me in one sitting.

Enjoy and share how you like these easy and cheap vegan recipes even a meat eater would love.
