Chinese vegetarian soup recipes

Homemade Chinese Soups Homepage / Chinese vegetarian soup recipes

Besides the simple vegetarian fare serve in buddhist monasteries and temples, traditional chinese vegetarian cuisine uses a lot of much mock meats, which are often made of highly processed wheat. There are mock pork, mock duck, mock prawns, mock calamari, and etc. You name it and they will try to "mock" it.

I used to make fun of these mock stuff and wonder why people would even eat them because they are basically highly processed wheat products, deep-fried, and saturated with salt and fats. I guess if the motivation to go vegetarian is to avoid killing animals, then creating mock meats to "compensate" for the obstinence is reasonable.

I still remember drinking a chinese vegetarian soup made up of mock prawns, calamari, fish and salted vegetables. I had severe indigestion after that and vowed never to touch mock seafood again.

In recent years, more people are becoming vegetarian for health reasons. More healthy vegetarian recipes using natural ingredients have surfaced. This include chinese vegetarian soup recipes.

One of the difficulties in finding vegetarian chinese soups is the soup stock used to prepare the vegetarian soup. The ingredients in the soup could be all vegetables but the stock could have been made with chicken, pork, fish and prawns. I have a couple of soup stocks made only with vegetables on this website. They are at vegetable stock recipes.
