This soup recipe is fabulous; it's from "La Dolce Vegan", which has tons of yummy vegan recipes!
Serves 2-4
1 small onion, chopped
1 T olive oil
2 inches fresh ginger, grated
2 cups butternut squash, cubed
2 cups vegetable stock
1 14 oz can diced tomatoes
1/2 cup red lentils (uncooked)
1/2 t salt
1/2 t ground black pepper
In a medium soup pot on medium heat, saute the onion in oil until translucent. Add the ginger and squash and saute for 5 minutes. Add the stock, tomatoes, lentils, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat. Simmer for 15-20 minutes or until squash is cooked. With a hand blender or food processor, blend half or all (I prefer all) of the soup until smooth (be careful when blending hot liquids). Return to pot, reheat, and serve. Also doubles and freezes well.

I make this, except without the diced tomatoes. It's fabulous. I find that it makes about 2 hearty vegan main event servings. Also, I've substituted canned, drained, and very very well rinsed cannelli beans (white kidney beans) and navy beans (instead of red lentils) & it's wonderful. The olive oil is unnecessary. Also, I like to give it a twist of fresh lime juice and kick it up more than a few notches with chiles, etc. It's a FAST and FRESH recipe, open to improvisation.
"La Dolce Vegan" is a fabulous cookbook, incidentally.

Is veggie stock the same thing as vegetable broth?

For just 2-3 servings? And do you cube into really small pieces? Or like an inch or 2 thick?
Thanks....would like to make this today...but without the onion. Can't do onions, unfortunately.
