Meatless Monday is a global movement with a simple message – cut the meat!

It launched in 2003. It is a nonprofit initiative of the Monday Campaigns. It is embraced by 39 countries.

I have been doing this for about 2 years now, and it has become so easy.

For lunch today black beans and yellow rice and a Boca Burger  I really like Boca Burgers, just on their own. But then dinner was another matter…I had a lot of left over veggies sitting in the fridge and those mushrooms that were just about to go bad. I had a can of cream of celery soup and some vegetable broth (okay I didn’t have vegetable broth I used chicken) Anyway, I mixed the broth and cream of celery and we all know that using a cream of soup makes everything much better. Next I added green beans and some potatoes, then some spinach then the mushrooms, salt and pepper. Now, at lunch, I put the black beans on the yellow rice and put it in the fridge. I wanted the rice and a little of the black beans. The soup turned out so great, really a great flavorful melding of spices and vegetables.

I highly recommend trying a leftover soup in your future.
