    Comforting soup and bread is perfect for a hearty meal. It is full of nutrition and quite filling with minimal cooking. Vegan adzuki beans soup actually resembles the quick Indian kidney beans curry, better known as Rajma masala. This adzuki beans recipe has some veggies added to it thus giving it good texture. Aduki beans are easy to cook and delicious too!

    I loved having soups during Winter night market when I first moved to Melbourne. Queen Vic Market and other soup kitchens sell a great variety to help you cope with cold winter day and rainy Melburnian weather. Some years ago, there were not many options to eat for vegans and vegetarian. Now it is one of best places in the world to have vegan food.

      This is probably stupid but it looks like garam masala is a spice but I do not know how much to use? My friend made this for me and it is great!
