This is a great soup to make on those cold dreary days of Winter; however, it would be welcome in my home any old time of the year (IMHO). It is easy/peasy to assemble, and you can have a nice steaming pot ready to go in under 30 minutes. And, since you are not opening a can, you have the ability to change things out to suit your own personal tastes. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

    When the weather is decidedly on the cold side, I like to add a bit of cayenne pepper; however, in the Summer months I usually leave it out.

    If you want to give this dish more depth of flavor, and you are not concerned about the vegetarian thing, you could sub out part or all of the vegetable stock with chicken stock.

    The Story of Honey Honey is a somewhat controversial food among vegans. Unlike overt animal foods like meat, eggs, and dairy, foods from insects aren’t always grouped into the vegan category. As a matter of fact, some vegans who eat an otherwise entirely plant-based diet may opt to include honey in their diet. That said, most vegans view honey as non-vegan and avoid eating However, since honey contains no blood, tissues or any type of life matter, it is considered completely vegetarian. FYI: To make this recipe vegan, sub out the honey with an equal amount of maple syrup.
