50 Vegan Soups & Stews: Warming. Nourishing. Deeply Flavoured.
The central challenge of vegan soups and stews is depth — the richness that meat-based soups build from bone gelatin, fat, and amino acids over long cooking. This book solves that challenge recipe by recipe: roasting vegetables before they go in the pot, charring aromatics directly over a flame for the pho broth, caramelising onions for 40 minutes for French onion soup, building umami from tomato paste and miso, and using dried mushrooms for body that no commercial vegetable broth can match.50 original vegan soup and stew recipes across three chapters — hearty soups, spiced soups from around the world, and hearty stews — plus a complete guide covering how to build depth in vegan soups without meat, salt timing, blending techniques, thickening methods, freezing guidance, and the resting principle.Every recipe includes: ✔ Protein, carbs, fat, and calories per serving ✔ Realistic prep and cook times ✔ Clear step-by-step directions ✔ Technique notes on depth, timing, and methodWhat's inside: → Hearty Vegan Soups (10 recipes) — Classic lentil and vegetable soup: the most protein-dense soup in the chapter at 16g protein. Minestrone with a vegan basil pesto swirl. Roasted tomato soup — the tomatoes, onion, and an entire bulb of garlic are roasted at 425F before blending, which is what separates it from canned tomato soup. Vegan French onion soup — the onions cook over low heat for 35-40 minutes until the sugars caramelise; the book is direct that this cannot be rushed and states why. White bean and kale soup (16g protein). Butternut squash soup with coconut milk and toasted pumpkin seeds. Potato and leek soup, blended silky. Gazpacho, served ice cold — the book notes this only works with genuinely ripe, flavourful tomatoes. Miso soup with tofu and wakame (14g protein) — the book specifies not boiling the miso, which destroys both flavour and probiotic cultures. Creamy broccoli soup with cashew cream and a roasted floret topping. → Spiced Soups from Around the World (10 recipes) — Red lentil dal soup with coconut milk and lime (16g protein). Harira, the Moroccan lentil and chickpea soup traditionally served to break the Ramadan fast — the book covers its origins and includes the rice vermicelli that distinguishes authentic harira (18g protein). Tom kha, Thai coconut soup with lemongrass, galangal, and kaffir lime leaves. Mulligatawny with apple, which provides a gentle sweetness unique to the dish (12g protein). Pozole verde with hominy and roasted tomatillos (14g protein). Borscht — the sweet-sour balance from apple cider vinegar and a pinch of sugar is the defining technique, and the book covers the ratio directly. Pho-inspired broth bowl with ginger and onion charred directly over a flame before simmering. Ribollita, Tuscan white bean soup thickened with stale bread in the traditional method (14g protein). Ethiopian misir soup with berbere spice (18g protein). Khao tom, Thai rice soup with jasmine rice simmered until it becomes porridge. → Vegan Stews (10 recipes) — Chickpea and sweet potato stew with spinach wilted in at the end (14g protein). Lentil shepherd's stew using vegan Worcestershire for umami depth (18g protein). Black bean and corn stew (16g protein). Mushroom and lentil stew — mushrooms browned in a hot pan first, red wine reduced in, soy sauce for depth (16g protein). Tagine-inspired vegetable stew with ras el hanout, preserved lemon, and olives. West African peanut stew with peanut butter, sweet potato, and collard greens (18g protein). Slow-cooked bean chili with a square of dark chocolate added in the final 5 minutes — it adds depth without adding chocolate flavour (18g protein). Bouillabaisse-inspired vegan stew with saffron, fennel, and nori for oceanic depth. Jackfruit and black bean stew with smoky BBQ spicing. Lablabi, Tunisian chickpea stew with harissa and bread torn directly into the bowls (16g protein). → The Vegan Soup & Stew Guide — How to build depth without meat: roasting and charring (the Maillard reaction produces flavour compounds that simmering cannot), tomato paste cooked in oil before adding liquid, soy sauce and miso, dried mushroom broth. Salt timing: added in layers throughout cooking rather than only at the end. Blending: fully blended versus partially blended versus unblended — design the soup with the method in mind. Thickening without cream: mashed beans, bread, cornstarch, cashew cream. Freezing guidance: which soups freeze well and which don't (potatoes go grainy, pasta continues absorbing liquid). The resting principle: why nearly every stew tastes better after 20 minutes off the heat. 36-page PDF. Instant download. Yours forever.
