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:

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.

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.

Place the veggies in the soup pot and saute with the olive oil.

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!

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!

Add about 1/2 of a bunch of dill to the soup.

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.

Enjoy!
