The adventures of VitaMan and his sidekick, Sherry the VeganWannabe continue with this fun dish, roasted garlic and potato soup. Keith allowed me to blend up a new soup recipe using his Vitamix.

I crave soup when it is cold. That means from September until May in Michigan, I only want to eat soup and the occasional vegan cupcake. Comfort foods abound in this kitchen.
