Spicy Pumpkin Wonton Soup

chow — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 05:10:29 +0000

With the extra ingredients from making Crispy Baked Spicy Pumpkin Wontons, I made more wontons but this time for a warming, comforting bowl of soup. In Cantonese, wonton means “swallowing clouds”. Floating around in the soup broth, they kinda do look like clouds. In stark contrast to the crispiness of the baked version, wonton wrappers [...]

Vegetarian Pho From Ani’s Raw Food Asia

chow — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 04:10:36 +0000

Another cookbook recently landed in my kitchen for review, Ani’s Raw Food Asia by Ani Phyo. While excited, I admit I also had doubts. I’m most familiar with Chinese food and it’s usually cooked (some dishes are even cooked a couple of different ways before it’s finally served), there’s not much that’s uncooked. But if [...]

Vegan “Menudo”

News flash! My make-believe food truck, Chow Vegan, has added a new item to its pretend Asian Mexican fusion menu – vegan menudo. Should go well with the veggie duck taco, don’t you think? Menudo is a traditional Mexican stew whose main ingredients include tripe and hominy in a spicy broth. I subbed out the [...]

Vegan Chicken Noodle Soup

With the return of cold and rainy weather this week, I made an old-fashioned “chicken” noodle soup using the newfangled meatless wonder, Gardein. As a youngster, I slurped the kind of chicken noodle soup that came out of a can. For some inexplicable reason, it’s a fond memory. Re-made vegan style, it has the same [...]

Butternut Squash-Bartlett Pear Soup from Vegan Soul Kitchen

Even though I love my spicy Butternut Squash Soup, I’m still curious about other versions, especially the ones that have fruit in them. Seeing the Butternut Squash-Bartlett Pear Soup from Vegan Soul Kitchen in the latest issue of Vegetarian Times pushed me over the edge and into the kitchen to give it a try. It’s [...]

Mango Gazpacho From The 30 Minute Vegan

chow — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 05:12:12 +0000

Since there’s still a lot of tomatoes hanging around on this warm Autumn day, I decided to try the Live Mango Gazpacho from The 30-Minute Vegan. An interesting twist to the chilled raw vegetable soup, the mango adds a refreshing sweetness to the spiciness of the gazpacho. As for the time, it took me 50 [...]

Roasted Asparagus Soup From The Vegan Table

chow — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 03:29:20 +0000

In reviewing The Vegan Table by Colleen Patrick-Goudreau, I was immediately struck by the amount of photos in the book. I have quite a few vegan cookbooks without any pictures at all. I love looking at pictures of food, especially if I’m attempting to make said food. Having said that, I of course, decided to [...]

Berry Soup With Cake Croutons

chow — Wed, 20 May 2009 22:09:19 +0000

With all of the amazing berries hitting the farmer’s market lately, I feel like I should do something more than just eating them out of the carton. Perhaps a soup would be nice. On my first try, I plopped yogurt in and it came out way too much like a smoothie. I don’t want to [...]
