VEGAN SWEET POTATO CORN CHOWDER

Please See Other Recipes

For my weekly food prep during the colder months, I usually stick to a lot of soups, stews and chili just because they’re so easy and they keep well. I’ll add fresh salads and veggies in during the week as they only take a few minutes to prepare. I wash and chop a ton of fresh veggies on the weekend so they’re ready for quick salads and healthy snacking. I also like to prep a batch of edamame, roast some veggies, make hummus, cook a grain like brown rice or quinoa and make a couple of snack options like my superfood cookies or no-bake oatmeal bars.

I’d love to say I always make my own vegetable stock but I usually forget to save veggie scraps to make it. If you make your own, fantastic! Go ahead and use that.

I usually just buy organic vegetable bouillon for making soups. I really recommend going with a good quality, organic stock as some of the other store-bought carton stocks or bouillon cubes have some really weird ingredients in them. I notice a big difference between the two and it’s one grocery item I always opt organic for. I also like using vegetable stock cubes over carton broth because I can always have it on hand in pantry without having to worry about it going bad.

I like Better than Bouillon and GoBio. The Pacific Organic Vegetable Broth in cartons is good too.
