Smokey Vegetable Chowder

Debbie, the vegan blogger behind Maple Spice, was born and raised in Canada. She moved to London in 1998, married in 2000, had a son in 2002, and eventually moved to the Irish countryside with her family.

Debbie was diagnosed with lupus in 2006. She started blogging in 2006 after having been vegetarian for 13 years and switched to an all-vegan blog in 2008: “We became vegan in 2008, for the same ethical reasons that brought us to be vegetarian, and haven’t looked back – best decision we ever made!” Debbie stopped making new entries to her blog in 2015, partly because of health reasons and her lupus acting up. We wish her the best of health!

Debbie asks that others not publish or re-post her recipes, an unusual request in the online world. We’ll beg forgiveness here, as the recipe is slightly tweaked, and also we give full credit and homage to Maple Spice. Please visit this site, which has over 300 recipes!
