I am addicted to this soup.

It is now a staple in my home. I am loving soup more and more as time goes on. I used to be a bit picky with it. I was that way with tofu, but that has changed now too. There are too many flavors and experiences to have with food. I am in love with experimentation and finding healthier food options. Being vegan in itself is completely beneficial that way.
Even so, being vegan isn't always healthy itself. It's certainly smarter than eating my antibiotic-pumped, force-fed, disease-carrying, poorly-treated friends in the field down the road known as cows. But even vegan substitutes have their unhealthies too. Some have high saturated and trans fats. Some carry hydrogenated ingredients and others carry refined. There are so many things to look out for. I want to separate myself from those ingredients as much as possible. Even if that means working at it little by little.
