Soup du jour! The soup of the day: harvest veggie velvet soup AKA carrot sweet potato beet bisque! It's quite yummy, the perfect fall-time soup that will satiate and warm your very being. Plus, it features 7+ fruits & vegetables and is SOOOO creamy (hence the name "velvet" soup). Delight in the vegan, gluten-free hardiness. More DD Soup recipes are coming too, because it's SOUP SEASON, BABY! Enjoy this one :)
Keeping this post short because I just got back from vacation/holiday to Portugal, and the people need more Dimpled Date recipes. But I also tried so many new foods and desserts there, and I can't wait to recreate some of the dishes and post recipes here!! Stay tuned for vegan/GF/refined sugar free Portuguese desserts on The Dimpled Date soon...
...and at local farmers' markets!! I'm officially going to be at the Pennington Farmers Market every Saturday from November 2nd-November 23rd! And I'll also be at the Vegan in NJ Monthly Market on November 3rd selling everything from cakes to cookies to granolas to breads to jams to truffles and more! Also, check the next DD Fruity Newsletter for some stories about my culinary travels to Portugal and my gastronomic introduction to the country known for port wine, pastel de nata, sourdough, & honey. And their fruit scene is good too 👀 Now that I've been there, I have to go back again, especially for the food.
And also so I can spend a whole day roaming around Livraria Lelo in a fantasy dress and buy/read more books (once my first novel is published)! I could've stayed in that bookstore all day, even though there were a lot of people and I'm extremely introverted... looks like a gastro-literary Portugal trip is in my future!!!
But I digress. In other news: The Dimpled Date is now an LLC and subscriptions have launched !! It's official. Now you can have access to exclusive recipes, the blog, farmers market + cookbook discounts, priority cake preorders for local customers, and loads of more amazing products and content for a small monthly fee! There are three tiers of subscriptions to choose from, each with their own benefits.
And now you can preorder your Dimpled Date favorites for the next pop-up/farmers market or delivery on my new online shop! So, the sweetness continues..
Anyway: this soup is vegan, gluten-free, and yeast-free and is loaded with fresh vegetables and fruits. This is a hearty, warming, filling soup that you won't need to go back for seconds for (even though it tastes good enough to do that). It's a nourishing soup that will keep you satiated.
But if you do want to serve something with it, I recommend a protein like roasted chickpeas, cooked lentils, or baked tofu. Alternately, you can serve this soup with a small piece of cornbread (and keep posted for a new Dimpled Date cornbread recipe coming soon!).
This velvet soup is the creamiest and the dreamiest with a delicious herby, savory, sweet potato + beet-forward flavor and a gorgeous orange color. And it's packed with all the nutrients you need when the colder weather rolls in. AKA: it's the perfect fall-time soup.
And it's not difficult to make at all, and is comparatively quick compared to other soups. Indulge in the deliciousness... if you dare :)
