Chicken soup is the ultimate comfort food. It’s hot, filling, and deliciously savory. Plus it makes a great meal or starter for Jewish holidays because it’s so easy to make; everything gets chopped up and put in one pot.
But you can get that same cozy feeling without the chicken. Try this easy-to-make recipe — it has the warm, comforting hug of the original, but in a vegetarian and vegan friendly form.
