Guest guest Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 Here is what I made the other day. I sauteed up some onions, garlic, carrots, and bell peppers, added a little bit of sage, some celery salt, and I think paprika then some frozen corn. Then I poured in a box of vegetable broth and while that was coming to the boil I washed off some barley and through that in to. I let it boil for a couple of minutes and then turned it down to a simmer. I simmered until the barley was soft. I forgot I also put in a can of black beans. You can also just open up a box of veg broth pour in into a pot bring to a boil and add some noodles to it. Feel better.

(Blood test proved it yeck) Anyway I am looking for some good vegan replacments for chicken soup and other comfort foods. Any ideas? The faster and easier the better. Also husband proof would be great as he is taking care of me and really doesn't know his way around the kitchen very well! Gotta love him for trying though. ( he just brought home chicken and dumplings from cracker barrel that he ordered with no chicken. I just smiled said thanks and put it in the fridge. I didn't have heart to mention the chicken broth. He tried so hard and cracker barrel is 40 minutes away. It's the thought.) Thanks for the help! Liudwih_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 Thank you all for the help. They all sound wonderful. With the sage and veggie broth I think this may have the flavor of chicken soup I am missing.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 For today I made a mock chicken soup. I took Barley covered it in vegetarian broth. Added a ton of cerlery, onion, garlic, carrots, garlic and did I mention garlic? I also added sage and herbs de Provence. Simply simmered it until the veggies pretty much dissolved (easier on the throat) and the barey was really saoft. I then mixed in about a cup of precooked lentils from my freezer. I was very good. Not exactly what I wanted but close. DH is stoppping at the commissary to pick up some Amy's non- chicken noodle soup on his way home from work. Thanks again!

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Did you see my recipe in the soup files for Potato " Chicken " Noodle Soup? It is excellent. I make it often as it is a favorite here. Judy , " liudwih " <liudwih wrote: > > For today I made a mock chicken soup. I took Barley covered it in vegetarian > broth.
