Mushroom + Buckwheat Soup (Hearty & Delicious)

I have decided to go Vegan for health reasons only. Not only Vegan but as close to Plant Based Whole food as possible. I have always loved cooking but this is definitely a new approach. Let's give this a whirl. In the first 3 months I have lost 30lbs and my blood pressure and Cholesterol went from high to low. So far so good. I have added some fish and shrimp due to my good Cholesterol also being low.

subheading: WHAT IS BUCKWHEAT?:

Let’s talk a little about buckwheat before we get to the recipe. Despite its name, buckwheat, aka kasha once toasted, does not contain wheat or belong to the wheat family.

It’s a gluten-free seed, sometimes considered a grain, with a good amount of protein, containing 6 grams per ¼ cup dry. They have a mild, earthy flavor. Once roasted, the flavor will intensify lending a nuttier flavor.

Raw buckwheat groats work great in soups, cereals and raw cookies so far that I have tried. I’m sure there are many more uses for this nutritious seed. In this recipe they will plump up and soften making them a great replacement for the traditional barley that is served in this soup.

You can purchase these Anthony’s Organic Raw Buckwheat Groats or these Arrowhead Organic Toasted Buckwheat Groats (affiliate links). I made the mistake of buying the latter, but wasn’t too disappointed as they are great as well.

In this easy soup recipe, leeks, celery, carrots, mushrooms and buckwheat groats are simmered with herbs until groats are nice and tender, creating a delicious and hearty vegan soup perfect for lunch, dinner or meal prep.

subheading: Here is everything you will need:

Leeks - can sub with onion
