This recipe comes to you from Pure Vegan, a cookbook written by Joseph Shudliner. Joseph is a culinary whirlwind, running a farmer’s market, creative directing marvelous new food spaces, and directing the Institute of Domestic Technology. That’s where I met Joseph. He was teaching a class on Fall Preserving that had nothing to do with preserves. It was a wonderful twist on using fall’s bounty to make apple sauce, grenadine, and dried fruit rolls. The Institute offers courses on Foodcrafting, Breadcrafting, Coffee Roasting, Cocktail Crafting, and Bread Camp (just to name a few!). I was thoroughly taken by the historic Zane Grey estate, the resident cat Thomas, and the little goats snuggling with one another out back. I was also thoroughly taken with Joseph, a creative mind, a fine cook, and a generous spirit. I hope you like his soup – I love it!
