McKay Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I have some vegetarian kids that are down with colds, low energy and fever. I'm very familiar with the healing properties of chicken noodle soup. Is there anything comparable for vegetarians? Thanks. McKay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane in NC Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Is there anything comparable for vegetarians? Thanks. McKay How about a stock with lots of garlic and ginger? For the soup itself, I would use carrots, celery, mushrooms, some tofu... Do you have a source of some Chinese or Japenese dumplings (or want to make them yourself?) You could add these to the pot. Flavor the soup with some soy sauce and a bit of sesame oil. Yum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McKay Posted February 13, 2008 Author Share Posted February 13, 2008 Thanks for these great suggestions. The recipe looks yummy! As for miso, would I use red or white miso to make a soup....or doesn't it matter? Any recipe for vegetarian Chinese dumplings? Particularly, one that you've tried and your family likes? Thanks.

Jane in NC Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Any recipe for vegetarian Chinese dumplings? Particularly, one that you've tried and your family likes? Thanks. My husband loves Florence Lin's Complete Book of Chinese Noodles, Dumplings and Breads. Writing out the procedure here would be very time consuming, so I recommend that you borrow a couple of library books with recipes. The noodle part of the dumpling is pretty basic (flour and water). There are an infinite number of filling choices. Then there is the methodology of assembly. It looks like a lot of work and it is. My husband and son periodically block out an afternoon to make a large quantity of dumplings which we then freeze. They can be cooked very quickly and make a wonder "fast food" choice with a salad on a busy night. Hope everyone feels better soon.

Lisa at Home Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 It's pretty good, and will do in a pinch. Just thought you might want to know!:) ~Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erica471 Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 I second the suggestion for Amy's soup. It has tofu instead of chicken and its delicious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
