Ahhh, French Onion soup, my favorite vegetarian mistake. I loved this so much in my omnivore days that I just assumed since it was an onion soup that it had to be vegetarian. Boy, was I wrong. I was just three months into being vegetarian when on of my coworkers informed me that French onion soup is made with beef broth! Imagine my horror, especially since I hadn’t eaten beef in nearly a decade. But hey, we all make mistakes, and from that day forward the French onion soup and I parted ways. But now here we are, reunited…and it feels so good (sing along!). This recipe is contributed by Alicia C. Simpson from her book Quick and Easy Vegan Comfort Food (The Experiment, 2009).

Meals based on low-fat, inexpensive ingredients like this nourishing tomato, lentil, and barley soup are always welcome. Serve this main-dish soup with fresh bread or cornbread and a colorful green salad to complete an easy meal. You’ll enjoy leftovers of this soup for days to come; it makes a good thermos soup to take to work or school; and it freezes well, too. Thanks to Laurie Fahrner, who writes the blog Mehitable Days, for the photos. Recipe adapted from Vegan Soups and Hearty Stews for All Seasons. Read More→

This clove-scented Creole soup has a cheerful orange color, and if good, fresh carrots are used, a subtly sweet flavor. It’s a real spirit-lifter in the winter and early spring, awakening and nourishing the senses. Serve with fresh warm bread or top with crisp croutons.

This hearty soup, adapted from Vegan Soups and Hearty Stews for All Seasons, features a variation serendipitously discovered by Ricki Heller of Diet, Dessert, and Dogs. Craving pea soup, Ricki pulled out the book, started the soup, and realized she had no yellow split peas. Undaunted, she quickly substituted red lentils and discovered that the soup works just as well with that substitution. Thanks to Ricki for that inspiration, and for the lovely photo here as well.
