Fall recipes may have arrived to the Blogosphere, but it’s still quite hot here in Patagonia. I’m not sure why October has brought us such high temperatures (last week we were 17 degrees F above average recorded temps for the day!), but we’ve been taking advantage of the cooler mornings by enjoying warm, delicious raw soups. This morning’s iteration featured soy-free chickpea miso, red bell peppers with kelp flakes and a bit of tomato concentrate. Feel free to substitute Aduki miso or soy miso if you’d like, and if you have kelp noodles, chunks of avocado or wakame on hand, they work great, too. Crushed nori sheets can also be fabulous, and their bold sea flavor definitely complements the mildness of the miso. Enjoy warm, hot, or at room temperature!
Chickpea Miso Soup With Red Bell Peppers And Kelp (Serves 1-2)

Yummmm this soup was SO GOOD. The perfect balance of flavors, not too complicated, quick to make, the perfect amount to be not too heavy but not leave us hungry, and of course delicious! And, made by the hottest queer vegan I know.
this looks awesome! 🙂 Where can one buy chickpea miso – it sounds delicious!
Yes, chickpea miso is a big favorite around our house. I get it from the local organic grocer, and I suspect WFM and other larger health stores would carry it. They also sell a version at my rawfood vegan workplace, and you can order from this amazing company online: http://www.southrivermiso.com/store/pg/138-Online-Store-Ordering-Miso-Online.html
