Spring Onion Soup

 This creamy spring onion soup has a lovely, vibrant green color and subtle onion flavor. It’s ready in just 25 minutes! 

I hate labels. I read this great article  by Chubby Vegan Mom and I agreed with everything she said in there. It makes me really sad when I see fellow vegans who are filled with rage and hatred towards other humans. Where’s the compassion we all talk about?! Really people, why don’t you understand that we will never succeed in changing others if we’ll have this aggressive attitude! A negative attitude will never attract positive changes! Never!

I’m giving up labels. I will eat what I think it’s right for me and for the environment I live in. I will make the changes in my diet when I feel the moment has come. I will not be an extremist filled with rage and negative thoughts. This doesn’t mean I’ll give up eating vegetarian…never! It’s just that I’m tired of all these labels and of fiery vegans who always judge and blame others. We’re not perfect and we don’t live in a perfect world. We must adapt and try to change others through love and good thoughts.

That being said, here’s a little bit about this creamy spring onion soup recipe. I am absolutely crazy about onions and I’ve never eaten onion soup, can you believe it?! Yesterday I went to Costin’s parents’ house and came back with about 10kilos of delicious cherries, some huge bunches of parsley and dill, lots of leafy greens and a bag full of extra-large scallions. I had no idea what to do with so many of them.

Baked scallions were out of the question because I ate this almost every day for the last couple of weeks, and eating them in salads will take forever! Then the idea hit me! What about a creamy spring onion soup! And that’s what I made.

It was delicious! You know that I love creamy soups, so this recipe is just perfect for me! 🙂 It’s really easy to make, like most other creamy soup recipes. You can use either butter or olive oil for this.

Hope you’ll like my creamy spring onion soup recipe! Enjoy!
