aggieamy Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I'm having some friends over for dinner and games next week. They are vegetarians and I want to make a really delicious soup that I can put on the stove earlier in the day and forget about it. I'm also going to make some bread to go with it. What are some really fantastic hearty vegetarian soup recipes you've been making lately? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingersmom Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchens/slow-cooker-sweet-potato-and-lentil-soup-recipe/index.html I have made this soup about a dozen times. I love love love it!! I only cook it about 6 hours in the crockpot and then use the immersion blender to mix it up. I use red lentils and it comes out the same color in the picture. If you use brown lentils it will come out a muddy brown color. I forgot to add I use chicken stock instead of water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggieamy Posted December 11, 2012 Author Share Posted December 11, 2012 Thank you! It's awesome that there's two recipes for red lentils because I love them and am always looking for new ways to cook them. Yum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Occasionally Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 This is a chili, but I've made it a couple of times for company and everyone has raved about it! I finished up the leftovers today at lunch. It works well when you just throw it all in the crock pot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamatohaleybug Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 No real recipe but I love to make a hearty vegetable soup. For the broth, I use water and a large can of tomato juice. Then I add frozen veggie blend (I love ones that have carrots, green beans, peas, onion, okra, celery, etc). To that I add chopped cabbage, diced tomatoes and kidney beans. Season with salt, pepper, bay leaf. Let simmer for as long as you need to. About 30 minutes before serving I add diced potatoes. It's delicious!

KungFuPanda Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Easy Mulligatawny Soup (use fresh garlic and ginger if you have it on hand, or just follow the recipe. It's still VERY flavorful.) 2 cups red lentils 5 cups broth (chicken or veggie) 5 cups water 1 teaspoon turmeric 2 tablespoons salt 2 medium potatoes (pared and cut up) 3 tablespoons olive oil 2 tablespoons garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 3 tablespoons ground cumin 2 tablespoons ground coriander 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper Lemon juice plain yogurt Put lentils, water, 2 tablespoons of salt, and broth in a large pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Add the potatoes and simmer for another 30 minutes. Remove from pot and puree mixture in blender. To the pot, add the olive oil and garlic, ginger, salt, pepper, cumin, coriander, and cayenne (I put all of the spices together in bowl so that I can add them at once.) Toast the spices in the heated olive oil for 2-3 minutes. Keep them moving and don't let them scorch or your soup will be bitter. Return the pureed soup to the pot and mix well with the spices. Simmer for about 5 minutes more. Add water to thin if necessary, or simmer longer to thicken. Serve soup with a dollop of yogurt and a splash of lemon juice. Enjoy :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parrothead Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I made a really good minestrone a week or so ago. I don't have recipe. Any good minestrone recipe will work just omit the beef. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny in Florida Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I forgot to add I use chicken stock instead of water. Which, of course, would mean it wouldn't be vegetarian. Just something to consider . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
