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!

I try to make as many varieties of food as possible and recently had the request for a hearty salad. Sitting in my pantry was some polenta that was about to expire so there was my first ingredient. I have not done that much with seitan so I decided to try to incorporate it, along with pan-fried tofu.
The various flavors of the lemon, tamari, teriyaki, and maple syrup all complement each other and each bite is an in-mouth party for your taste buds.
Up until now, I have not attempted to make my own seitan, so for now, I would recommend Sweet Earth Seitan.
ENJOY!

I have seen several recipes for tofu seasoned with maple syrup but was not pleased with the outcome. I decided to experiment on my own and am extremely pleased with the results.
Maple tofu is great in this dish but also works really well on its own.
In this recipe decided to pair it with some basic zucchini and oven-fried sweet potatoes.
ENJOY!
