Mexican, Soup, Vegan
I miss my country so much. Specially the food, so when I feel home sick and far I treat my self and my loved ones with a vegan version of my favourite Mexican dishes. My vegan version of black bean soup can be eaten cold or hot and it is perfect for a nice quiet lunch in the gardens.
