This soup is one of my daughters favorites. I'm not sure what she likes most about it, the pillowy soft tortellini, the rich Italian parmesan infused broth or the oodles of yummy veggies. Regardless this is a delicious and easy one pot meal that comes together in about 35 minutes. I use cheese tortellini and veggie broth in this soup because my daughter is a vegetarian, but you could absolutely substitute the cheese for sausage or chicken tortellini and utilize chicken broth.

Sorry, vegans, no cake for you — it’s made with animal… charcoal??. Pictured: probably not vegan, because it contains sugar. Also, marshmallows aren’t vegan either. Double whammy.Photo byPhoto by quokkabottles on UnsplashonUnsplash.

(Valeria Boltneva/Pexels) Did you know that people are going meatless more often than ever before? It's true, veganism is hotter than ever before.

These days, many people have dietary restrictions based on health or personal preferences. From the evening news to comedy specials, the discussions on these can be nuanced, and often people disagree.

For those around greater Phoenix who enjoy eating at vegan and vegetarian-based restaurants, there isn’t exactly an abundance of options out there. While one might come and go every so often, plant-based eaters will find a rather limited selection in the Valley. Thankfully, local restaurant owners who have already launched one successful plant-based restaurant are at it again and are opening a second vegan and mocktail bar right in Phoenix.

*This is a work of nonfiction based on an actual event told to me by my father, who had experienced this first hand; used with permission.

The event is organized by Lancaster Farm Sanctuary, whose mission is to provide information about the benefits of a plant-based diet for health and the benefit to animals.
