Italian Wedding Soup, or Chicken Soup with Escarole, is a staple for all holidays celebrated in an Italian household. Whether it is Christmas dinner or any day that ended in the letter “y”, chicken soup with escarole was practically always on the menu.
I have not had this traditional soup for 15+ years and I am happy to share with you, my vegan recipe. I decided to call it Chicken-less Soup for the Souls because of the chickens saved in making this variety.
There are numerous options to use in place of the chicken, including Edward & Sons Not-Chick’n Bouillon Cubes or Better Than Bouillon No Chicken Base. I also recommend the new Vegan Chicken-Less Seasoning Salt from Trader Joe’s. It is a delicious blend of sea salt, onion powder, Spices, Turmeric and Garlic Powder. I use it to season the tofu after frying it and before adding to the soup.
ENJOY!

Eggplant is such a versatile veggie! It takes on the flavor of other ingredients but has its own texture. Eggplant is also an excellent source of fiber, B1, B6 and Vitamin K.
This combination of the veggies, sauce and coconut rice is amazing. However, if you are not a fan of any of these 3 veggies you can also experiment with other options.
There are a gazillion recipes for coconut rice available but I prefer mine that eliminates using any sugar.
ENJOY!

Don’t freak out if you are seeing the word “sausage” in the headline, it’s vegan. Trust me when I promise you that everything on this site is vegan!
There is a local restaurant that I always thought made the best lentil soup…until now. This has become a new favorite in our house for vegans and non-vegans, alike.
I used the Trader Joe’s Italian Sausage-less Sausage in this soup and it tastes absolutely fantastic. You can also top each bowl with a dollop of vegan sour cream for extra creaminess.
ENJOY!
