Guest guest Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Now that we are shifting towards the winter months, I would like to start making soups as a newly vegetarian. However, most soup recipes call for meat flavorings or salts as a base. Does anyone have a recipe which they wouldn't mind sharing.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 You can make almost any soup using a vegetarian version of the broth. I always have McCormack boullion on hand. They make a chicken and beef broth without meat. I think they are pretty good but I don't really know what the " real " stuff tastes like so I could be wrong. So, to start, just try substituting with a vegetarian boullion (even vegetable will work in place of meat broth). I also save my vegetable scraps in the freezer to make stock out of. It's good too but the flavour is not consistent...depends what is in the bag when I make the stock. It is a good base for hearty stew and the like where there are a lot of bold flavours. Here is a soup I tried when my CSA box had carrots with tops (apparently they are good for you!!)... http://recipes.chef2chef.net/recipe-archive/13/078137.SHTML It was delicious (the boys and my one year old nephew devoured it). I made it without the cheese, used brown rice (a bit more than 1/2 cup), and subsitituted vege-chik'n boullion. I would decrease the oil next time I make the soup. Also if you use brown rice it will take longer to cook so you might consider cooking on the side in some of the broth and (while you saute the veges) then adding it.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Oh that soup using carrot tops is delicious - I made it (from that exact recipe, with minor amendments, as you did yourself) last year (or was it early this spring???) and we loved it. I put chopped carrot tops into a lot of soups now Good tip about the veggie 'beef' and chikken bouillon - I should try them myself sometime! They say that they are really convincing: it's funny I was afraid to try them because I thought they just might be too convincing and that might put me off LOL but I think I'm over that idea now!!!! Thanks for responding to this thread. It's hard to remember back to when I was first a veggie and had these problems and worries. All help gratefully received with the newbies (and others too, of course).

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 We had the soup again last night...the boys love it. I will try putting the carrot tops in other soups as well. I got a bunch of turnips and greens in my CSA box. I'll be doing turnip greens in the next day or two...I have heard to treat them like Collard Greens. You might consider trying the vege chikk and beef. I think they are quite good. I'm not sure how close they are to the meat version but they do season a soup nicely. ~Paula PPlease consider the environment before printing this email " drpatsant " <drpatsant Tuesday, September 16, 2008 7:51:19 AM Re: Re: soup recipe please!

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Turnip greens are awesome! It's funny, earlier this year I challenged my blog readers to name the green in the pic: http://www.zenpawn.com/vegblog/2008/03/03/guess-the-green/ After some guesses and a couple weeks, I had to reveal: http://www.zenpawn.com/vegblog/2008/03/17/st-patricks-day/ Just wish I could find them again. Not even collards nor kale at the farmers' market this year. Was a tough growing season in NH, so I'm told. -Erin http://www.VeganDoneLight.com - Paula Wednesday, September 17, 2008 2:03 PM Re: Re: soup recipe please!

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 I must have missed that one! I don't think I could have guessed it. I think we must have been lucky here in Southern Ontario. Everything so far has been great. Except for the corn...at least I haven't had much luck with it this year (there are four cobs in my CSA box...I have my fingers crossed). Apprently the peaches weren't great but I didn't notice. I though they were fantastic. I froze 30+ bags for wintertime smoothies.

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Thank you, Paula! I would've guessed baby collards myself.
