What substitutes for chicken broth?
Posted Monday, January 4, 2010 at 7:55 PM

What is the answer for those days with a lingering head cold and sore throat? Home made chicken broth always seemed to work wonders. What do vegans cook instead?

Life is a song worth singing.

It's delicious. Probably higher in sodium than is good, but I don't use that much or that often.

Here's what I make if I feel icky and want soup:

Vegetable broth (Imagine has a No-Chicken flavor)
frozen stir fry or other mixed veggies
plain cooked pasta or rice
fresh garlic and ginger
miso paste

bring broth to a boil, add frozen veggies, garilic and ginger, and stir occasionally until heated through.

Add pasta or rice and remove from heat.

Season to taste, but not too much salt because miso is next.

Stir a spoon full of miso paste into each serving to dissolve.

Sometimes I will also put in diced jalapeno--high in vitamin C. Ginger and garilic are both warming and supposedly boost immunity with natural antibiotic properties. Anyway, they taste good!

Feel better!

If I am cooking and find out I don't have a vegan bullion, I will often add depth and saltiness to the dish I am preparing with a few dashes of tamari. It really is a great standin for broth when you are in a hurry.

Miso is too salty for me, I never salt anything. So what I do to make a "fake" chicken soup for myselfa nd even my mother in law (she is convinced I will die with out meat) is to use the No-chicken broth (it is veg broth with no tomato) and add the egg free noodles (any pasta or rice you like) carrot, celery and frim tofu cut into little chicken pieces. Fools Mom everytime. She loves left over soup too: take all the left over veggies in the fridge or freezer and add to the broth, simple and good. Hope you feel better. Faith

I'm struggling with a scratchy throat myself and am currently enjoying a cup of hot water, lime juice and a squirt of agave. It tastes delicious and is easy on the throat.
