    This soup is so flexible! Substitute sliced mushrooms for the baby corn; bok choy for the broccoli; or just clean out your vegetable drawer and use what you have on hand.

      I made this soup & it was very good!! I served it with basmati rice & will use up the leftovers with ramen noodles.(I used soy sauce & sriracha as stir ins) I just discovered this website & it is even better than VT. Love your variety of recipes. I will have fun trying them!!

      Hello I want to try to make this for my husband except he wants chicken in it . Do you think that if I make it with chicken broth instead of vegetable broth it will be ok? Or should I still just put the veggi broth. *Never really made soups before 🙁

    8. Nava says

      Hi Flora — since VegKitchen is a vegan site, I can't recommend using chicken or chicken broth. Try it just as it is — your hubby may not miss the chicken!

      My 21 month old loved this... I used spinach, baby corn, mushroom, spring onion, red pepper, broccoli, tofu and broth and a dash of balsamic; in any old quants. Just chopped it all up really small so it was easier for her to eat and avoiding blending. I batch cooked and have frozen pots for in the week. I felt so good watching her eat such a healthy meal 🙂

      Sorry, I don't have nutrition facts on a lot of the recipes. But you can DIY on sites like myfitnesspal.com
