Vegetarian Vegetable No-Beef Soup: Hearty soup chocked full of vegetables all in a no-beef broth and tomato juice to keep it vegetarian. Perfect for a chilly night.
Long time readers of this blog know that I love soup.
I eat it three to four times a week in the winter months for sure.
So when we turned vegetarian I didn’t get to have many of my favorite soups.
Most of which were almost vegetarian minus the broth.
My husband and I used to eat our Vegetable Hamburger Soup often and I had yet to try and convert it to vegetarian.
Until today.
I thought about adding a meatless ground burger substitute but reality was it was never the hamburger that I liked in the former soup, it was the veggies.
I can say with quite certainty that this soup definitely hits the spot and I don’t miss the beef.
And it’s a good thing I like my vegetables since Canada just came out with a new food pyramid that has 1/2 each meal being fruit and veggies.
I’ll just ignore their suggestion of less sugar. 🙂
Hopefully you are getting more veggies in your day…this soup is surely one way to make sure that happens.
