Easy and delicious tomato soup

Why make tomato soup from a can when it's so much better with the homemade version? :)

RECIPE

1 large chopped onion
2 cans of chopped, peeled tomatoes
3-4 large tbsp tomato paste
2 large shredded carrots 
1 cube or 2 tbsp vegetable broth (powder)
1 dl vegan cream or soy milk 
Salt, pepper

Make macaroni if you want it in the soup (I use whole wheat macaroni).
Fry the onion in oil, don't burn it. Pour over the cans of tomatoes. Fill up one of the empty cans with water and add it to the saucepan. Add tomato paste, carrots, broth, salt and pepper and let it simmer for 20 minutes. You can also add a drop or two of Liquid Smoke if you want.
Blend the soup smooth and add the cream/milk and salt & pepper. Add other spices if you want.

Serve hot with macaroni and some good bread, for instance spicy focaccia.

Wholewheat taco-pirogues

These are easy to make and very suitable for lunch, or if you are in a hurry you can just grab one and go. Fill them with anything you want. I have filled them with taco-filling this time, but I have also made them with only vegetables, and they were even better than these ones. I just fried shredded carrots, onion, garlic, sundried tomatoes and peppers in oil, and spiced it up with ground chilipepper, onion powder, cumin and fresh black pepper. And some salt.
The pirogues on the picture here was baked for just a little too long, so they got a little burned. The next time I make these, I'll take a new photo and replace it, but for now you just gotta stick with this one. They are really good, though.

RECIPE

5 dl white flour
2 dl wholewheat flour
2 dl oats
1 dl wheat bran
1 packet (50 grams) dry yeast
3-4 dl water, 37-40 degrees
1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp sugar
4 tbsp olive oil

Mix everything together and make a smooth dough. Add more water or flour to get the dough right.
Cover it with plastic and let it rise for about 1 hour.

Meanwhile you can make the filling:
1 packet of taco-TVP (just use what you can find in the stores)
Tomatoes and water for the TVP (follow the instructions on the packet)
1 large chopped onion
1 large shredded carrot
1 can of beans, kidney or black or whatever you like the most
Spices of your choice (I used kebabspice, salt, pepper and chilipepper)

Make the taco"meat" and add the other ingredients. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes and set aside.

When the dough has risen for an hour, take it out of the bowl. Grab a handful of dough and roll it into a ball. Throw some flour on the kitchen counter and place the ball on it. Roll it or flatten it with your hand and place 1-2 tbsp of filling on one side and lift the other side over (see pictures below). Press the ends down with a fork, all around them, and rub them with some water. Place them on baking trays covered with wax paper and sprinkle a little oregano over each pirogue.
Bake for about 15 minutes on 400 F.
