Vegetarian Meal Idea

By on September 9, 2009

This past week a 15 year old niece asked me for some vegetarian meal ideas. Since I’ve been a vegetarian with bouts of vegan since 1973, she came to the right person. And… her parents knowing I have “survived” all these years being a tad different, they know she’s in good hands.

So! I sent her Chapter 17 from my book and a photo of what I ate last night. Total preparation and cooking was 30 minutes.

Vegetarian Soup

Ingredients:Tomato Soup Base

16 ounces tomato base for broth 4 cloves Garlic 1 small bell pepper 1 dozen Okra 1 small Avocado 1 hard boiled egg Parmesan cheese

Sauté chopped garlic and bell peppers. Steam chopped okra separate (or you can sauté with other veggies). Pour tomato base over and heat thoroughly until hot.

Tomato Veggie SoupPour this into a bowl, grate hard boil egg and dice avocado over, then sprinkle with Parmesan. Easy and delicious! Soup base and veggie can be your choice. Aside from tomato base, soup is made from scratch. All other ingredients are local and organic, except the cheese.

A photographer I am not, but this gives you an idea how chunky (and filling) this soup can be.

To succeed as a vegetarian, ease into it and make it colorful. More colors, more vitamins!
