Carrot-Ginger Soup, Marinated Seitan with Kale over Mixed Wild and Brown Rice

I was delighted to have two friends and ex-colleagues over for dinner tonight. I had to show off the Vita-Mix blender and make the carrot-ginger soup that we love. I also made a marinated seitan dish over rice. I think that all enjoyed the meal, including several fruit drinks I made in the Vita-Mix.
