Labor in the Food System Primer from Food First

I was too busy with for for the past few days.

Vegan version of my first and moste ancient Ghibli inspired soups.

Heat 3 tbsp olive oil or your preferred cooking oil in a large soup pot. Chop three celery stalks, 1.5 sweet onions, 6 smallish carrots (you can adjust amounts of veggies to your preferences) and sauté for around five minutes or so on medium heat stirring occasionally until the onions start to become a little translucent. Add 3 cloves of minced garlic, stir and cook two minutes. Add around 3 cups chopped red potatoes (I really never measure, just use what you’re feeling, I’m estimating I threw about 3 cups in) and cook stirring occasionally 5-7 minutes.

Add 3 tbsp flour, just enough to evenly coat the vegetables and potatoes, cook for another minute stirring it well.

Add six cups vegan ‘chicken’ broth or vegetable broth and bring to a boil.

Once it’s boiling throw in half a pound of gnocci, cook two minutes or until the gnocci start floating to the surface.

Add 1.5 cups unsweetened coconutmilk soup base and one can of corn.

Season with 1 tablespoon dried basil (or more if you like, I tend to go crazy with the basil), 2 bay leaves, a TON of black pepper, and quite a bit of salt because, potatoes.

Turn heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
