Faith-manor Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 From this website, I have made tomato, roasted red pepper soup. It was very, very yummy. https://www.purewow.com/food/vegan-soup-recipes I served it with garlic hummus and avocado slices on toast using earth balance vegan butter on the toast before spreading the hummus. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spy Car Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 The wide world of lentil, bean, mixed-bean soups (such as the one mentioned by @KungFuPanda above) are a pretty great option. You can riff by adding greens, veggies, grains, pasta, etc. One very simple soup that I like to serve at easter time presents as something that's quite "fancy" (despite being really easy). It does require purple cauliflower for the "wow" factor, but plain cauliflower tastes similar. All you do is cook the cauliflower (with whole garlic cloves) in milk (sub in a non-dairy alternative) with a little [s]butter[/s] or olive oil until tender. Then blend. I use a stick blender to avoid spilling hot liquid. With purple cauliflower the pureed soup take son a lovely pastel purple shade that looks like an easter-egg color. Never fails to get ooh and ahs for being so pretty. Bill 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigo Blue Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 This soup is fantastic. Just don’t use anywhere NEAR as much chili powder as it says. I just use a tiny, tiny pinch and add more if needed. Yes, it’s low FODMAP, but it is so good. You could add some onion or garlic if you like. I sometimes buy fresh collards and chop them pretty small, then use them in the recipe as directed. Or sometimes I use frozen kale. It tastes good that way, too. https://mealplannerpro.com/member-recipes/Veggie-Packed-Low-FODMAP-Soup-Recipe-2385358 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selkie Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Check out the soups on this site. Their recipes are vegan, delicious, and amazing: https://monkeyandmekitchenadventures.com For sandwiches, we love paninis with bbq mushrooms, red onions, spinach, hummus, cashew queso - you can make all kinds of variations depending on what you like and have on hand. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carol in Cal. Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 For the sandwiches, Pita bread, thin layer of plain hummus or of sweet hot mustard, layer each of coarse grated red cabbage, seed cucumber, and carrots, thin tomato slices, thick avocado slices, shaved red onion, radish sprouts, and a heavy sprinkle of raw sunflower seeds is amazing. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, I need a sandwich or something to take the place of a sandwich, I think, and maybe a salad. For context, this is the family birthday for one of DH's nieces who has asked for a homemade chicken noodle soup and grilled cheese sandwiches. But it's also the first time another niece is bringing her vegan boyfriend to meet the family. So, I'd like to serve him a good meal. I feel as though if other people get a sandwich with their soup, then he should too. Or if not a sandwich something else that you can hold in your hand and eat. I need it to be nut free. So, what would you add? Chicken noodle soup Grilled Cheese Tangy braised chickpeas ??????? Birthday cake! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harriet Vane Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 My favorite and easiest vegan soup ever. Throw together a mixture of vegetables with enough water to cover. Make sure there is at least one onion and one potato. One of my favorite combos also includes a ton of spinach and tomato and zucchini in addition to the onion and potato. Cook until totally soft. Blend until silky smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. I have done a zillion different vegetable combos. As long as you have the potato to bind it all with some starchy heft, it works. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drama Llama Posted February 19, 2022 Author Share Posted February 19, 2022 What do people think of this recipe? I'd need to make pumpkin seed romesco instead of almond, but otherwise?https://www.loveandlemons.com/romesco-cauliflower-sandwiches/ I could do homemade bread.

AmandaVT Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 We love TLTs - tempeh, lettuce, tomato. You can make 'bacon' out of tempeh, like this https://minimalistbaker.com/easy-tempeh-bacon/ Then use a nice sourdough or something like my favorite bread: https://www.redhenbaking.com/bread/cyrus-pringle/ Lettuce and tomato and vegan mayo? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were doing a soup that was not so hearty, I’d suggest a sandwich like these No-tuna chickpea salad sandwiches 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that is my own hangup and not a real need. I don't think I want chickpeas and chickpeas. I am leaning towards the sweet potato wrap because I think it would balance somehow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you wanted to do a sandwich but be different, a food bread brushed with garlic infused olive oil and toasted with sun dried tomatoes and diced red pepper might be very nice. I do think the sweet potato wrap sounds yummy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catz Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 (edited) I took an online cooking class about a year ago doing a vegan po’boy and it has become a household staple. You partially roast sweet potatoes, peel and slice, dip in vegan milk and a mix of corn meal and almond flour and old bay to make kind of croquettes. It has a cabbage bell pepper slaw with vegan dressing and a fennel aioli and fennel mar made. It sounds weird but the combo is amazing. I prep everything and you can toss the salad and warm the sweet potatoes in a skillet in a couple minutes just before serving. Maybe more than you would want to do if you’re serving no vegan stuff too. Edited February 19, 2022 by catz 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catz Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Oh I was going to say, I mix the salad ingredients and do the dressing ingredients in an immersion blender and store separately. Everything will keep 4-5 days if you store the components separately. Just warm up/brown the sweet potatoes for a couple minutes, toss the salad, assemble, yum! The cook that put this together is some sort of vegan rock star she could make converts out of all of us. 😍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drama Llama Posted February 20, 2022 Author Share Posted February 20, 2022 DS has decided the occasion warrants homemade bread. So, I think we're going to just put out rolls and a bunch of homemade toppings and people can assemble as they wish. I'm not sure how cohesive that will be. We're definitely stealing the po'boy style sweet potatoes, maybe some cauliflower steaks too? A few different condiments? Some avocado, arugula, some kinda slaw?

KungFuPanda Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 I spent part of today making this: https://greatcurryrecipes.net/2011/02/15/base-curry-gravy-2/ Its a curry base that you can add to to make a variety of dishes. It’s loaded with veggies and flavor. I’m freezing it in meal-sized portions and turning part of it into Masala sauce for dinner. It makes 3 liters, so plan on freezing or cut the recipe 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
