The weather is getting more and more bitterly cold by the day, making my cravings for soups and stews stronger and stronger.
I took a tupperware container full of some slow-cooker veggies I've had for a while that was cooked in stock and seasonings; carrots, green beans and baby red skin potatoes. I also had a giant bag of cooked peas that I was able to swipe from my kids (the kitchen lets me take food all the time. Our lunch lady is a super hippie and would rather see me take it home than throw it out).
I put it all in my food processor with 2 cups of vegetable broth (Meijer brand) and got to work. Poured it into a pan, heated it up, took half of it back out and put it back in the food processor with the other 2 cups of veggie broth and whirred the shit out of it. To my disappointment, I couldn't for the life of me get it to that creamy consistency that I was looking for. Maybe I should have added some plain soy milk or soy creamer. Damnit, my best ideas are always after thoughts. Poured the liquidy soup back into the pot on the stove with a pile of chopped onion I had leftover from Thanksgiving, stirred it occasionally and heated it up thoroughly. Ate it with a big chunk of soft rye bread and a glass of cabernet.
-Sigh-
I also had a crap ton leftover to freeze!

That sounds tasty. I think you were right about the soy milk/cream for a creamier consistency. Or maybe some veggie cheese. I made a Thanksgiving leftover stew...not vegan though. Not even vegetarian. But man, it was tasty.
I've always carried my weight strangely. When I first met everyone 4 years ago, I was 120 and a size 7/8 in juniors. I didn't look that thin though. That's why it's my goal. I was really happy that size. And it was right in the middle.
I really just don't want to have so much booty and boobs. I hate having boobs.
