Place the dish in your over to bake for 20 min at 350 degrees.

Food is Good: Vegan Chicken Soup
Who says vegetarians can’t eat chicken soup, the food for the soul ?? Here is my tasty recipe for a mock vegan chicken soup, a vegetarian staple for sure!
Olive oil
Start with a large pot and about 2 Tbsp. olive oil. Add sliced veggies. The vegetables you pick can be any with the exception of broccoli, brussel sprouts, parsnips, or any strongly flavored vegetable. This will ensure it tastes like a mixture, not broccoli soup.
Veggies
When slicing the veggies, you only need to cut them into large pieces, don’t worry about chopping them. The vegetables in the soup will be discarded and used for vegetable patties or filler later.
leeks
Place the veggies in the soup pot and saute with the olive oil.
saute
Add soup to the highest point of the pot you can get away with without it boiling over. You are going to want lots of this delicious soup!
soup on to boil
Add some shakes of tamari sauce and pepper to taste.

Now for the secret ingredient that makes this soup smell and taste like chicken soup, DILL!
Dill
Add about 1/2 of a bunch of dill to the soup.
add dill
Bring to boil and simmer to lightly boil for 2-3 hours. Discard the vegetables and save for another use. You can serve plain or with rice, noodles or matzoh balls. You can serve immediately or let cool and freeze in plastic container.

Enjoy!

Vegetarian Cooking is Fun: Tomato Sauce
Every Monday I will be posting to my column, Vegetarian Cooking is Fun, a new recipe. In the next several weeks I will be focusing on vegetarian staples that you can make and keep in your freezer until needed. Why make staples and not buy? Less expensive, whole natural foods, better taste and no added chemicals or preservatives, and you can make it with whatever spices and flavoring you want! It does take some added work in your kitchen, but well worth the effort. In between the staples recipes I will add some videos and interviews with local vegans who will share their special recipes of their favorite dishes. This should be a lot of fun, come aboard!!
Ok, what staples does one need in a vegetarian kitchen? Here is my current list:
Tomato sauce
Cashew cream
Jam
Frozen Fruit for Shakes
Bread
Peanut butter
Hummus
Roasted peppers
Roasted vegetables
Dried fruit
Granola bars or snacks
Spreads for sandwiches
Fresh herbs
Almond milk
Kale chips
Veggie burgers
Pizza dough
Veg stock
Cooked beans
Pie crusts
So, let’s go through them through the weeks and discuss how to cook them and freeze them!
Tomato Sauce
Ingredients:
20-30 plum tomatoes, washed
sliced onion
diced garlic, several heads, depending on how garlicky you want it
diced jalapeño pepper
chopped celery, several stalks
2 chopped zucchini
2 sliced carrots
ground pepper
2 tsp. salt
oregano
sage
red pepper flakes
3 tsp. olive oil
Gather all the ingredients, put the olive oil in a large saucepan. Put the fire on medium and put all ingredients in except the tomatoes. Let everything cook for about 3 minutes, then add quartered tomatoes. Leave on medium or medium low heat and let cook for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally.
Turn off heat and puree with wand, blender or food processor until smooth.
Let cool and store in plastic containers. Label with date and food and put in freezer.
Really, super easy!! Remember, you must use plum tomatoes to get the rich sauce!!

Nourishing my Artistic Soul and Making a List
Late afternoon haystacks by Monet
Ohhh, I have to admit it, I have been quite happy this week reading, working in my fabric studio, being with my family, cooking, and…..having time off from my computer!! I have been nourishing my artistic soul by letting myself be led by my creative desires. Winter break for me has always meant a time to contemplate, be inside with family, and play. I have thoroughly enjoyed time with family. Reading as always been pervasive in my schedule. I spent time absorbed in the new reading biography of Pat Conroy, “My Reading Life”, now I am reading a short biography of Winston Churchill. Always wanted to know more about that courageous British fellow! I also started in earnest working on my vegetarian cookbook that I am writing with my son, JJ. Very excited about this endeavor! And, I puttered and created in my fabric studio. There is nothing more splendid for me than to be sequestered in my fabric room surrounded with wool, colorful fabrics, ribbons, beads, books, and my trusty iron and to make whatever comes to mind. And many things have come to mind. Here is my latest project that I finished this week:
Blue and yellow sweater with material
I am into designing my own pieces lately, thinking of fabric, yarn, buttons as my palette and the clothing my sculpture. This sweater is knit with hand spun yarn infused with blues, yellows, and purples. I added blue batik fabric on the hem and the sleeves, and put glass hand made buttons on the button band. Love it, nice and warm!!
Now, to look forward! I have made many cyber friends this year, and one of my new friends, Emily, has started a list party along with 2 of her other blogging friends. I will be joining this fun and every week I will post the latest list. To start it off, we are to list our goals for 2011. So here are mine…..
1) Play my violin more and jam with my sons
2) Finish my vegetarian cookbook
3) Write the children’s book that I have in my head
4) Finish at least half of all my fabric projects I have thought of
5) Spend more time in my painting studio
6) Paint a portrait of my grandson(already did his sisters, can’t leave him out!)
7) Make some mixed media pieces
8) Continue to feel grateful everyday for all the blessings I have
That is it, to tell the truth, I am pretty satisfied with my life, which was on my list long ago to be satisfied with what I have.
Horses
Have a happy new year, keep safe and see you all next week!!!
