VEGAN - CROCK POT POTATO SOUP

What is yummier than potato soup on a stormy day but who wants all that heavy dairy fat sitting on their wasteline.  Try this classic potato soup recipe and replace the dairy products with some tofu and almond replacements.    THIS IS ALSO GLUTEN AND DAIRY FREE.

4 Yukon Gold Potatoes
.5  Bundle of Kale
2 tablespoons Tofutti Sour Cream
1.5 cups baby carrots chopped
1 leek, sliced
.5  white onion, diced
6 cloves of garlic
2 vegan herb and Sea Salt bullion cubes
1/2 gallon of almond milk
2 tablespoons of cornstarch
.5 CUP OF veggie shreds

Salt and Pepper to Taste

Chop to preferred size, dump in the crock pot, (don't forget to compost:), EAT, top with habaneros ofcourse and a pickle on the side.

Quorn & Corn Pasta

Who knew meatless grounds were so amazing, well I did, I use them in Tacos, Spegetti and just about everything the meat eater would put high fat ground beed in.  My favorite is QUORN, a fungi based product and full of protein.  A very good friend of mine is allergic to dairy and wheat, so tonight I ventured beyond Vegetarian to create a LOW FAT, healthy option that would be both gluten and dairy free.  Surpisingly it wasn't that difficult and was really delicious.

I love spicy so this recipe does have ghost chilies in it but was really good on the no heat version as well,
Sprinkle in the garlic salt and pepper a little at a time.
