Ultimate Guide to Vegan Thanksgiving Soups and Stews – One Green Planet

With the weather turning colder, and Thanksgiving right around the corner, we turn to warming, cling-to-the-ribs foods like soups, stews and chili to stay you nice and warm.

During Thanksgiving, including soups, stews, and chiles on your table is about more than just finding a use for your nice spoons. Bowl foods adds a layer of togetherness to an occasion. There’s something truly warming about everyone ladling out of the same pot. Since it’s so easy to add all kinds of condiments to bowl foods once you’ve already spooned it out, it’s easy to make bowl foods conform to any dietary restriction. We’ve put together a list of the tastiest soups, stews and chilies for you to enjoy this thanksgiving, and of the Food Monster App!
