Autumn is here and with it begins the season of cozy evenings at home. When the temperatures drop and the leaves turn colorful, there’s nothing better than wrapping yourself up in a cozy blanket with a steaming bowl of soup in your hand.
Soups are very easily prepared without animal products. Hannah Baresch, vegan chef and founder of Virtskuchl, cooked many plant-based delicacies (her vegan desserts are heavenly!) as part of the Vegan Month at the Falkensteiner Balance Resort Stegersbach. The passionate cook told me a few delicious soup recipes. Of course, I don’t want to withhold them from you:
