Carrot-Ginger Soup, Tempeh, Mashed Potatoes

We are lucky to have a woman who makes fabulous vegan soups (well, sometimes she makes non-vegan ones, too, which of course we don't buy, but it turns out to rarely be a non-vegan choice) available for pickup each weekend from her home. This week there was a Broccoli soup as well as a Carrot-Ginger one.

My wife's "model 16-year-old" niece arrived from Wisconsin for about three weeks today to spend time with us and help take care of baby. I was taking her to the last night of ADF to see Mark Morris and had to put dinner together quickly. So the soup came in handy! I heated the Carrot-Ginger - wow! It was very good, but that's what we expect from this soup seller! I put a dollop of vegan sour cream into it. I served some tempeh and mashed potatoes, as well.
