Why Vegan Ricans?

Vegans because we don't need dead animal flesh inside our bodies it depletes our vitality, our mental powers and make us feel exhausted. We don't want to support factory farms and their unnecessary process of killing millions of animals for food. "Ricans" because we're native Puerto Ricans people who were born and raised in the Caribbean island, Puerto Rico "La isla del Encanto" which means "The Island of Enchantment".

Green Pigeon Pea Soup

A few days ago I had cravings of my favorite Grandma's soup "Asopao de Gandules" Green Pigeon Pea Soup, and we decided to make the dish and share the recipe with all the people that enjoy a flavorful meal on these days of low temperatures and rain. Warm up your body with this Puerto Rican style veggie soup which is very low in Saturated fat, Cholesterol, a good source of Protein and Fiber. (nutritiondata.com)

Taylor Sizemore recommended this to blog to me. I made the Pigeon Pea Soup, but I couldn't find pigeon peas so I used split peas. And I didn't feel like cutting up a pumpkin so I used canned pumpkin that was mushed. This soup was delicious! I made a huge pot so we will be eating it for awhile and so far we are not sick of it. Thanks!
