Official Business

While Alexis was rockin' the lentil soup in ithaca, there was an official Soup Gang meeting in Austin. With founder, Leif Valin in town...we went all out.


Billie and I shopped and cooked all day, pretty much. She made some Egyptian Lentil

and I made some Chickpea Tahini soup with baby portobellas from a recipe in that awesome cookbook (see older posting). We also heated up some Minestrone that Billie had made before. Accompanying the soups was a green salad (with the most amazing vegan caesar dressing ever), a kick-ass pasta salad by Billie and some amazing breads we bought at whole foods. And for desert, vegan peanut butter cookies with chocolate or jam.

A special shout-out to Taj for bringing a 12 pack of Coca-cola, most of which he consumed throughout the duration of the meeting (i exaggerate for effect).


Full on Soup Gangster action took place with the following people in attendance: Billie and myself, Leif, Corrigan, Joe, Sandy, Jen, Taj, Stew, Hallman and at least a couple dogs.



The business side of the gang is in the works. Don't you worry about that! Possibly more pictures to come when Leif sends me his!
