If you're a vegan, you're tough outta luck here, but my fave veggie recipe (i don't eat meat) is broccoli and cheese soup-- home made.
First, boil a "head" of broccoli, almost tender, and then cut it up really small. Then take a package of american sliced cheese (16-count) and about 1/2 a cup velveeta, put it in a pan and let it melt some. Stir in about 1/4 cup of milk, till it's the consistency you want it. (this is a trial-and-error recipe) and add your almost-cooked-broccoli-bits. Add a lil more milk, but if it's too runny add add some cornstartch. Here's the secret: a teaspoon of celery salt, and about a can or so of cream of celery soup. then some salt, mix it in, add more cheese if you like, and voila! Homemade soup. Mmmmm!

2 ounces/60 g onion sprouts
2 ounces/60 g alfalfa sprouts

In a medium saucepan, place the water, soy sauce and ginger. Add the mung beans and bring the cooking liquid nearly to a boil. Remove the pan from the heat and strain the beans.

Set the salad and dressing aside while preparing the tofu and lotus root. Cut the tofu into 8 finger-length rectangles. Place the sesame seeds in a medium bowl and roll the tofu in the sesame seeds to coat. Heat the vegetable or peanut oil in a medium saucepan or deep fryer to 375°F/190°C.
Add the lotus root slices to the hot oil and cook until golden and crisp. Using tongs, transfer the fried lotus root chips to paper towels to drain. Deep-fry the tofu in the hot oil for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden.
Using tongs, transfer the fried tofu to paper towels to drain. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well to coat. Mound the salad in the center of four plates. Top with the fried lotus root chips and tofu and serve.
