Vegan Menu for Week Twenty-Four

This week, I was grocery shopping and, in a "bargain bin," I found a cookbook that focused just on soups.  Now, spring might be just around the corner, but we still have a few chilly days and weeks left, so soup is on my mind.  This week's focus will be on lots of soups serving as meals.  What a great way to warm bellies and hearts.  I hope you enjoy this week's menu ideas.

* Just a silly note--I had a heck of a time deciding if I wanted to place Russia under European cuisine or Asian.  Russia's land mass, after all, falls more in Asia than in Europe.  It's huge!  What finally made the deciding factor for me was a Wikipedia article on "European Cuisine."  It included Ukranian Borscht as a European dish.  So...I had been toying with the idea of putting this Russian dish under "Asian cuisine," but now I'm comfortable labeling it as "European," in case you wanted to know!
