It’s getting cozy as the temperatures drop.

Soup is for sure becoming a main contender on my lunch and dinner menus. However, sometimes I want it to be a little hardier, yet still have hints of a cozy, soup meal… that’s where risotto comes in. Rice cooked in veggie stock and topped with other delicious fall veggies.

It’s a solid meal, with the possibilities of so many amazing variations… from adding different proteins like beans, chickpeas or tofu (or my weakness…the fake fish stick), as well as adding seasonal farmer’s market veggies.

So let’s check out how to make a bright and hearty cozy recipe:

Description: Mushroom Lemon Risotto

Diet: Vegan, Gluten Free (core recipe minus the fake fish sticks)

Ways to make low-waste: Buy fresh veggies and lemons. Buy rice in bulk. Try making your own veggie stock or buy the condensed veggie stock from Better Than Bullion (it comes in a neat little reusable glass jar!). Get local seasonal veggies.
