Hi friends! Hope you are dong great! For today I made a favorite dish which is a veganised version of an soup we Greeks make for Easter day. The traditonal soup is made of intestines (I know…), lettuce, dill, rice, eggs and lemon juice. So not vegan! Fortunately this vegan version tastes just the same (probably better), is much healthier, and no animals were hurt in the process! It is super easy to make and sooo good! Give it a try and let me know waht you think! Cheers!
