Dinner Even though this meal needs some preparation it is
absolutely enjoyable. |
Served
This light soup delivers the wonderfully rich taste of celery and makes a great lunch. It even stands out as dinner when served with toasted sprouted whole-grain bread and a glass of wine. |

Klaus I used for the first time the successor of the Magic Bullet blender named Nutri Bullet. It’s the same principle but a little bit bigger and has an extra third blade and a professional ration speed, cracking seeds of frozen berries as well a pureeing so fine that a smooth creamy is produced (compare the two “Served” or “Prepared” pictures above). Awesome, this is a must in every vegan kitchen. Now, soups will be fun to make. |
