Coconut White Bean Soup & Texas-Sized Fun

Although Texas may seem like a whole other country, it’s also where my three favorite kiddos live. So last weekend I packed up and flew there. 

I had a blast. There was plenty of time with the kids, and plenty of time at the local pub.

There was even plenty of time with the kids AT the local pub. Now that’s what I call multi-tasking!

There was tailgating fun before the U of H football game…

And glorious, glorious food… including these vegan cream cheese wontons and pad thai my SIL Kathy made… YUM!

I had the best time, and I’m thankful that H-town is just a short flight from Denver, and that they have a guest room ready for me 🙂

And of course, after a weekend of sunny Texas weather, I landed back in Colorado and was welcomed by a blizzard. Hence the soup. 

And the soup is WONDERFUL! I used white beans… and diced tomatoes instead of stewed for a chunkier base. Oh, and I added millet. Because why not!? I also really recommend the chopped avocado on top. Takes it to a whole new level of flavor. Delish!

    What cute pictures, looks like you had a great time. I have to ask though… where is the recipe for those wontons??

    Is it possible to make a bad look pad thai? And I have to agree with AnnMarie, I would love a wonton recipe! I miss “crab ragoons” which were just fried cream cheese wontons. XD

    Looks like a fun trip!
