I want chicken soup!?

[Synecdoche]

But I don't really want chicken soup...what I want is that creamy, comforting, every-so-slightly-bland yet peppery bowl of nostalgia that makes you feel warm from the inside out and soothes your tummy.

My usual carrot and coriander, sweet potato and apple and parsnip soups just aren't cutting it. Does anyone have any vegan friendly alternatives that might fit the bill?

The soups you mentioned are all quite sweet.
How about a run of the mill vegan friendly leek and potato?

Smooth leek and potato with lots of ground pepper?

Smooth red lentil might work?

Chestnut mushroom and sweet potato is delicious. Parsnip, leek and ginger?

Well now, leek and potato...

Or even just potato soup. Does such a thing exist?? Is this madness?

Pea and mint is my go to comfort soup.

Boil frozen peas. Season. Add dried mint. Blend. Takes 10 minutes but it's smooth and sweet and easy to eat.

Try Anthony Worral Thompson's red lentil soup recipe... it's online and it's dreamy!

I love soup. Thank you all!

Chicken soup.

I whole boiler. Cover with cold water. Two onions quartered. Two carrots sliced. 6 black peppercorns. Two celery stocks chopped. Chicken stock cubes. Bring to boil. Simmer for two/three hours. Cool overnight. Remove fat.

Remove most of chicken except for shredded bits that have fallen off and maybe the meat off a leg.

Heat through and add vermicelli

Chicken soup like mama used to make called loction. But somehow I just can't make it right.

Thug Kitchen's wedding soup with beanballs and kale. We (a bunch of omnis plus 1 vegan) had it today and my dsis described it as vegan chicken soup!

I have Thug Kitchen so will definitely look that one up - thanks contessa

nip That's definitely the real deal...but unfortunately I'm looking for vegan alternatives. A misleading title on my behalf! Thank you though.

Can a vegan even be kosher

Sweet potato and roasted red pepper 🤤

Extra kosher nip

I once made Jerusalem artichoke soup that was creamy and delicious, that might be a good substitute?

Green lentil with spinach

Red lentil with tomato, coconut cream, ginger and lemongrass

You know beauty I have never eaten an artichoke. To my shame I don't think I've ever even seen one before. Does this make me a bad vegan? Have I been missing out??

In my mind it tastes like a cross between fennel and celeriac. Am I close...?

You want this stuff, just like chicken stock but vegan. Use it to make a mushroom soup - mushrooms, potatoe, leek and onion with rosemary, thyme and garlic. It'll sort you right out.

Leek and potato my fave!

Fry some onion and leek, when soft add vegetable stock and potatoes. Boil till pots are soft and then blend. So creamy and yummy!

That looks promising, paperdoll!

Jerusalem artichokes (the root veg) are more like celeriac than fennel. I have eaten once or twice in restaurant. They have a reputation for being tremendously fart-inducing. I don't think they are related to globe artichokes.

No, it's not aniseed-y or as celery like as celeriac. They're like really savoury tasty potatoes with lots of flavour. I really like them but they are hard to find out of season. They are also notorious for making you a bit windy!

I consider myself forewarned and forearmed with regards to artichokes! Toot toot

Delia Smith's late summer soup. Up the potato, it doesn't need the cream. I am not vegan but it hit the same spot as chicken soup.

For my chicken (noodle) soup replacement i use marigold reduced-salt vegan bouillon powder; and baked tofu pieces (either ready-made Cauldron ones, or homemade) - and the usual veg (eg onion, carrots, green beans, sweetcorn, whatever you like) and broken up spaghetti. But then the chicken soup i used to have was always in a broth, not creamy.
Hmmm i want some now lol
