A delicious, thick, satisfying pea soup. You can keep it vegan by not adding sour cream, but the small amount of sour cream used here does add creaminess and flavor.

Vegetarian Recipes
Intensely flavorful, filling, and satisfying combinations of vegetables, eggs, dairy and whole grains.
To my family’s dismay, I like to experiment with making healthy Hanukkah recipes. Not that they should complain – I still faithfully make fried jelly donuts and traditional potato latkes every year, but in between oily bites of carb-rich foods, I like to make healthier fare. Vegetable fritters fried in olive oil are a great way to celebrate the “miracle of the oil” without gaining five pounds by the end of the week. Here’s a good recipe.

Pretty, tasty and very satisfying, this low-calorie, high-protein vegetable quiche makes a great main dish in a vegetarian dinner. Also wonderful for brunch (definitely company-worthy), or as a healthy, quick snack.

I wanted to make tomato soup, but I didn’t feel like frying, pureeing, straining… so this is what I came up with. Simmering the tomato puree, the broth and the spices allows the flavors to meld, and the Greek yogurt and small amount of butter make this soup delightfully creamy and silky. Serve this creamy tomato soup with cheesy croutons (see recipe below) or with a grilled mozzarella sandwich.

Like many of my recipes, this recipe started with an urgent need to use up some leftovers. In this case, pumpkin puree and cottage cheese. The starting point was my foolproof baked macaroni and cheese recipe. I replaced the Greek yogurt with cottage cheese, added a cup of pumpkin puree, changed the seasonings to accommodate the pumpkin flavor, and baked slightly longer to allow for the added liquids. The result was delicious, creamy macaroni and cheese with just a hint of pumpkin flavor.

Low fat creamed corn – a delicious, very flavorful dish. It’s pretty and colorful, too! The cayenne adds a pleasant, subtle kick, but if you don’t like your food spicy, simply omit the cayenne.
