Answer 4

You can make almost any soup vegetarian by using vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and mushroom broth instead of beef broth. If the recipe calls for meat, leave it out or use an analogue instead. Seitan (a.k.a. "wheat meat") is good in soups and stews, as it has a chewy, meaty texture.

Answer 5

Depends on your other dishes, but my vote goes to sweet potato and red pepper soup. Make it a bit spicy.

Answer 6

I would say leek and potato or a potato and corn chowder. If the weather is warm then perhaps a cold gazpacho?

Answer 7

Pumpkin and butternut squash

Answer 8
