VEGAN AVGOLEMONO SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery. Cook the vegetables for 8 minutes, or until the carrots are tender. Add the garlic and for one more minute, stirring constantly.
• Add the rice to the pot. Swirl it around for a minute to toast it, then add 7 cups (1.65L) of the broth and the salt. Bring the mixture to a boil and turn the heat to low. Cover and simmer the soup for 25 minutes if using white rice or orzo. Simmer for 40 minutes if using brown rice, or until the rice is tender.
• In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, miso, tahini, nutritional yeast, and 1/4 cup of hot broth from the soup. Add this slurry back to the soup. Stir well. Next, stir in the dill.
• Simmer the soup, uncovered, for a few more minutes. If the soup is too thick for your liking, add the additional 1 cup/240mL broth. Taste the soup and adjust the salt and lemon as needed. Add freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve

Steps:

• Begin by soaking the cashews in hot water. Place the 1/2 cup of nuts in about 1 cup of boiling water, and soak for 1 hour. When ready, blend the cashews and water together until you get a thick cashew cream! Set aside.
• Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot. Finely dice the onion and garlic, and sauté in the oil for 10 minutes on low heat. Meanwhile, dice the carrots, and add to the pot with the garlic and onion. Sauté for 5 more minutes. Dice the roasted red pepper and add to the pot. Add the 8 cups of vegetable stock, and the white and arborio rice to the pot and simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Once the rice is cooked and the soup thickens, stir in the spinach and cashew cream in. Juice the 3 lemons into the soup, and add some zest for extra flavor. Serve hot and crack fresh pepper and fresh dill to the top!

Steps:

• Place chicken, chopped onion, celery, carrot, bay leaves, and oregano in a large pot. Pour water over the top; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, skimming foam as necessary, until chicken is falling off the bone, 60 to 90 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken to a bowl to cool, strain all vegetables from simmering broth, discard vegetables, and return broth to the pot. Chop cooked chicken meat.
• Combine 2 cups diced onion, olive oil, and a pinch of salt in a large skillet. Cook and stir onion mixture over medium heat until onion is soft, sweet, and golden, 7 to 10 minutes.
• Stir onion mixture into chicken broth in the pot and set over medium-low heat; add Arborio rice and a pinch of salt. Bring to a simmer; cook, stirring occasionally, until rice is very tender and broth flavors combine, about 45 minutes.
• Whisk eggs, cayenne pepper, and black pepper together in a bowl; whisk in lemon juice. Slowly pour 1 cup broth mixture into egg mixture, whisking constantly. Add 1 more cup of broth to egg mixture and whisk. Pour egg mixture into broth in the pot, add chopped chicken, and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes more.
