Soups

This soup not only uses freshly grated cheese but the rind, as well. The rinds, similar to a vegetarian soupbone, are perfectly safe to eat and add flavor without the extra expense of using freshly grated cheese; they are available at many natural foods stores.

With no weighty pasta, this vegetable-studded soup makes a lovely first course—or an excellent weeknight dinner.

Assam tea provides a flavorful, fat-free broth on which to build the other flavors in the soup. Serving tip: Serve this spicy dish with bowls of fragrant rice.
 

This simple country-style dish is a national favorite and considered a satisfying snack.

Filling, nourishing, easy on calories, and packed with vegetables and lean protein, a well-designed noodle bowl is the perfect one-dish meal.

A good udon bowl is all about presentation. There are a few extra steps involved in preparing vegetables individually, but it’s worth it when you see the results. Nonvegans could add a soft-poached egg on top. If you have time, do step 1 the night before; discard the ginger and garlic cloves, cool, and refrigerate.

Warm-you-up soups and stews for cold winter nights

Frozen cauliflower makes the fastest soup ever.

A delicious, staff favorite.
