Easy Vegan Lunch Recipe: Carrot Apple Ginger Soup & Fennel Scones

These two easy vegan recipes make one delicious lunch or light supper for Meatless Monday or any day.


This carrot apple ginger soup was inspired by a chilly day, my love of carrot apple ginger juice, and the fact that the produce had been in my crisper for almost 2 weeks. Soup, smoothies, and juices are the best way to use up produce before it goes south.

Easy Vegan Fennel Scones with Raisins

Course: Breads
Cuisine: Vegetarian
Serves: 9

Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour I used 1 cup whole wheat + 1 cup white. Please don't judge. :-)
  • 1 TBS sugar
  • 3 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp fennel seeds
  • 14 tsp salt
  • 14 c Earth Balance coconut spread at room temperature - I've tried this recipe with regular coconut oil and unfortunately it wasn't as good
  • 12 c raisins I used brown but I think golden raisins would have been a better choice.
  • 34 c almond milk
  • 14 c orange juice (or more almond milk)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  2. Mix flour, sugar, baking soda, fennel seeds, and salt together with a fork.
  3. Cut Earth Balance into the dry ingredients, using the same fork, until you get tiny crumbs.
  4. Stir in raisins, almond milk, and oj with a spoon.
  5. Form nine scones and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Bake for 15 minutes.
