Cream of Dandelion Soup
By Marilee Tolen, http://www.homespalady.com
1/2 lb dandelion greens, washed well and drained, roots trimmed, stems chopped small, leaves
chopped 2 Tbsp vegan butter 1/2 cup vegetable broth
Prepare the greens Melt the vegan butter Add the greens and stir to coat. Let cook, stirring occasionally until greens soften. Add stock and continue cooking.
2 Tbsp vegan butter 2 carrots, diced small 1 small onion, diced 2 Tbsp flour 1/2 cup water 1/2 Tbsp Dijon mustard (don't skip this) 1/2 cup soy milk 1 Tbsp soy cream (optional) Salt and white pepper
Melt the vegan butter in a saucepan. Add the carrot and onion (put carrot in first since it takes longer). Cook until softening but not browning. Stir in the flour, creating a heavy paste. Stir in soy milk a tablespoon at a time incorporating completely into the paste before adding
more. Let cook for 2-3 minutes (this cooks out the floury taste) and until completely hot. Pour the greens and the white sauce into a blender and process until smooth Return to the saucepan. Stir in mustard and soy cream and season to taste. Heat through (don't let boil) and serve.
