As soon as September hits I start to dream about trips to the cider mill, adventures through the woods and of course big pots of soup. Despite temperatures being in the 80\’s this past weekend, I decided that I was going to make a hearty and healthy soup… it\’s vegan too! I cooked it in my Mealthy Pot (Instant Pot) and in about an hour I had the most delicious soup.
