This is a sponsored post and I have been compensated. However, all opinions are 100% mine. Have you heard of a dirty vegan? I hadn’t either, but just the name makes me giggle! I bet it makes for a great vegan soup recipe!
It is “vegan junk food”, which is healthy vegan food that doesn’t skimp on taste. Dirty Vegan is a celebration of all the amazing tastes and dishes available to those on vegan diets. I have made a few vegan recipes on the blog. One of my favorites are Vegan Carrot Cake Cupcakes.
But cooking like a dirty vegan is exactly what I have been needing in my life! Maybe you would like to cook like one too? Well, you’re in luck. The Dirty Vegan is an all-new cookbook from Catherine Gill. The Dirty Vegan has over 100 vegan recipes in that are styled as “vegan junk food.”
They’re full of flavor while still being good for you. You can find recipes like “Steak” Tips and Sweet Potatoes, Cheddar Bread Ring, S’mores Pancake, Vegan Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Blossoms and Vegan Ravioli Dippers. Yum!
You can order The Dirty Vegan on Amazon, Target and Barnes and Noble. The Dirty Vegan isn’t just for vegans! It’s for anyone who wants delicious dishes with minimal equipment or processing.
It was lovingly created by blogger and holistic vegan chef Catherine Gill. She’s been running her popular blog, The Dirty Vegan since 2010. It focuses on comfort food style vegan food that are fun and healthy.
She also ran Dirty Vegan Foods, a vegan bakery that specialized in vegan versions of classic desserts. Oh how I would have loved to visit her bakery!
One of my favorite things to eat in the world is soup. If you check out my Pinterest feed, you will see lots of recipes for soups, stews and chills! I knew I had to find a delicious vegan soup recipe!
When I saw a recipe for Loaded Vegan Black Bean Soup recipe in The Dirty Vegan, I had to make it! Not only is it the perfect weather for soup, but it is super easy to make!
Other than the vegan sour cream and cheese, I had all the other ingredients in my pantry and fridge tomake this vegan soup recipe.
Just be sure to look at your black beans because some have an animal protein stock, and that is totally against all things vegan! I love to make an easy soup recipe I can simmer and forget about.
This is a recipe you can make on a stove top or in the crock pot. I put this recipe on low in the crock pot for 2 hours and it was perfect!
As I mentioned above, The Dirty Vegan is all about flavor and boy do you get that with this recipe! This soup is pretty filling, so you can serve it on it’s own and your tummy will be quite happy.

Okay, I think the idea of dirty vegan would make me more interested in being vegan!! These recipes look delicious!!
Dirty vegan is an interesting name! I think my husband would love this soup though, he enjoys beans and eats them whenever he has a chance as I am not a fan!
I love easy vegan recipes to try occasionally and this one sounds so delicious. I love beans – they are so healthy and you can’t go wrong with them in any soup recipe!
I’m not vegan but this sounds tasty! A friend of mine and I was just talking about different soups!
I’ve actually never heard of this book and i’ve been vegan for a few years, and vegetarian for 7! This looks delicious.
Wow that soup recipe looks so yummy and rich. I have never had black beans but am willing to try your recipe out.

I am not vegan but I love soup. I am definitely going to try this recipe!
I regularly eat vegan dishes. I am a pescatarian and only eat seafood 2x’s a week. The rest of the time, I’m eating vegetarian – and mostly vegan. I love slow cooker soups that fill my house with wonderful smells all day long. My pinterest feed probably looks a lot like yours

This soup looks so yummy and comforting. I’ve been doing a lot more vegan cooking so I’m always on the lookout for new cookbooks. I will be adding this to my list along with Hot For Food and Sweet Potato Soul’s new cookbooks.
This recipe fits really well into my diet. I love black beans too!
I’m not a vegan, but all of these photos look so good I’d definitely be willing to try it out so I can be healthier!
I’m a vegan so all my recipes are vegan:). Some of my fave/easy things to make are pasta salads or dips for parties!
I am looking forward to trying this out. I love finding new V E G A N recipes!
Black bean soup is one of my favorites. Legumes are really good for me.
I so need this cookbook. I’m pescatarian and know someday I want to become full on vegan, recipes like this make me eat a mostly vegan diet
I have to say that the soup looks absolutely delicious.
This sounds like a delicious recipe. I love bean soups, though I may make this one vegetarian rather than vegan. LOL

This looks wonderful! My daughters really like black beans and since we’ve been sick most of January soup has been pretty much all we’re eating. I’m definitely adding this to the week’s lineup in our home!
Though my family isn’t vegan, I am looking for healthier recipes for my family. We make dole whip (frozen pineapple, coconut milk) that is vegan and we also make vegan muffins using alternative ingredients like coconut milk and pureed veggies or fruits.
This vegan soup looks delicious and I cant wait to try it out. Great post!
This looks so good and delicious. Not to mention that I love black beans too!
I’ve been wanting to try vegan meals as part of our weight loss and possibly helping with our chronic pain. Due to disabilities we aren’t as active as we use to be and it’s showing!
I love to make a huge pot of vegetable soup using whatever is fresh from the Farmer’s Market. Thanks for the giveaway!
This looks like it would be so amazing! With the cold weather that we have been having it would be so perfect.
Black bean is just one of my favourite oriental flavours so this sounds absolutely perfect for a cold winter’s night.
Vegan Chili is my favorite. I love having sweet potato muffins too.
I am not vegan, but this black bean soup looks tasty! I love the name of the book!
Right now I don’t eat a vegan diet on a regular basis. I’m very interested in finding more delicious vegan recipes, so I can to make a transition to eating it fully time.
I am not vegan, but a lot of recipes are really good! I just recently ate a Minestrone soup that was vegan and absolutely delicious!
I’m not a vegan, but I have a goal to plan more meatless meals this year. We often have a “vegetable” supper during the summer when fresh garden veggies are in season, often including squash, peas, tomatoes, corn, etc.
Black beans are some of the best protein sources for vegans. Not only are the jam packed with it but they’re a complete protein. Great recipe, must try this one soon.
That looks and sounds delicious. I have always been a huge fan of black beans! Yes! I actually have a potato vegan soup recipe which is my favorite! I would love to incorporate more veganism in my routine!
We’re just now reducing our meat intake. Not completely vegetarian, but at least 3 days a week, no meat. I’m still learning recipes to try – so this book would be awesome!
I love vegan cuisine, and I’m always eager to try new recipes.
I am not vegan but I like to eat a lot of vegan meals. My favorites to make are vegan chili and vegan “meat” sauce!
I’m a big fan of lentil soup, zucchini potato soup and minestrone. I love vegetables.
I am a vegetarian but as of late I have been eating a lot of vegan food and this black bean soup is right up my street as well! I live in the UK where it gets super cold so it would be lovely to have some delicious soup to warm me up in the chilly weather!
I’m 100% vegan, so the answer to the question “do you include vegan recipes in your diet” is “yes”! 😉
It’s hard to pick a favorite. I suppose it would be vegan mac n’ cheese.
I don’t go all out vegan but I do go vegetarian about weekly. I also love to snack on veggies.
That soup looks delicious! We don’t consciously eat vegan, but many vegan recipes appeal to me. We go ‘meatless’ at least once a week…usually with a pasta dish or veggie stir fry but this book could give me lots of other great ideas!
We add in a few in our dinners. We like veggie pasta.
We only eat vegan in our house. I don’t get to cook from scratch often but I love making casseroles and soups!
just the occasional stir fry
I cook vegan occasionally. My go to meal is vegan chili. I make it in the slow cooker and it always comes out delicious.
I do use vegan recipe often my son has Celicas disease and cant have gluten so using veggies makes cooking so easy. He loves my veggie stew so good just put in what ever veggies are in season in the slow cooker with seasonings
I’m not a vegan but we are always looking for great recipes that are healthier for us. Plus something I can put into the crockpot is less work for me around dinner time!
It is refreshing to see a vegan recipe, plus this one looks super delicious. I am going to try it out in the future! Soup is so comforting and hearty, and black beans are such a great source of plant-based protein.
