Clean eating doesn’t have to be hard or expensive!

Hello, I’m Morgan from Shupe’s Soups. Food is my everything – you could say I am a little obsessed. I write recipes and share information about food to help readers make the best choices possible when it comes to food. I believe everyone should know how to make a healthy meal from scratch and know where their ingredients come from. Using fresh produce, herbs, and spices is important to me when I’m making a meal I know my family will enjoy, but also one I can feel good about feeding them.

Your family will love this vegetarian dish!

Eating more plant-based is quickly becoming more and more popular. I believe that even if you are not vegan or vegetarian – I sure am not – you should still try to incorporate more plant-based meals into your diet. Hearty dishes like this Vegan Chili Mac and Cheese make it easy and can fool even the pickiest of meat eaters.

The “cheese” sauce is made out of squash and nuts, but actually tastes like cheese! It’s nuts, I know. The addition of nutritional yeast, lemon, and dijon is what gives the creamy squash and cashews their umami “cheese-y” flavor. If you desire a more orange cheddar-like color to your cheese sauce, choose a squash that is more orange in color like a butternut squash.

The Bean and Vegetable Chili is a quick and easy vegetarian chili with the addition of my secret ingredient, balsamic vinegar. A small splash of balsamic vinegar at the end of cooking brings a little added sweetness and tartness that makes the chili spices shine. The flavorful mix of spices literally sets this meal above the rest.

  • 1/4 cup frozen corn
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • A splash of balsamic vinegar
  • Vegan Mac and "Cheese":
  • 2.5 cups uncooked macaroni noodles

  • 1/3 cup cashews, soaked overnight and drained
  • ¼ cup neutral oil, like olive oil or grapeseed
  • 1/3 cup water (more if needed)
