Day 4: Soup without Tomatoes?

Still recovering from my flu.  I figured out late that I cheated again on my veganism (I had homemade ginger beer that uses honey as a sweetener - ginger beer is so good though!).  My plan is to have this bad boy conquered so I can get back to cooking.  Meanwhile, I'm doing things with short cuts, which brings me to my mission for the day: Vegetable broth.

I am allergic to highly acidic fruits, which includes: oranges (hence the orange tirade), peaches, pineapple...skip down about 10 items on the list and we find tomatoes.  I'm as allergic to them, meaning, I may sneeze or not have any reaction at all, if I have a slice or two.  The same goes for lemon and lime.  But put them in a bowl of soup and voila! Whelps up and down my arms.  Really sucks actually.   So imagine my chagrin to find that all the ready-made vegetable broth soups have tomatoes in them!  Because of that, for today, my pick is Thai Sweet Potato Soup from Pacific Natural Foods.  It is higher in sodium, but has a great taste without over seasoning.

I put my Vegetable broth grip up on facebook.  Let's see what that brings back.
