You can buy vegetarian broth cubes at most groceries and natural foods stores. Just substitute the veggie broth in recipes that call for chicken or beef broth.
Same deal with recipes that call for chicken or ground beef - substitute textured vegetable protein or vegetarian “chicken” or veggieburger. If your local grocery doesn’t carry vegetarian food items, check with the nearest cooperative grocery store - they often will carry specialty food items requested by their members, and a lot of them will have a selection of vegetarian substitutes.

Chili is really good in the crockpot. Spices can make the difference, and then beef isn’t really necessary. Also, we like to add tomato sauce to chili and serve it over spaghetti. Hope this helps!

Crock Pot Polenta
1 cup grits/cornmeal/polenta
5 cups water
1/4 cup butter
1/2 tsp. salt
Combine ingredients, I don’t melt the butter ahead of time.
Cook on low for 6-8 hrs.
In a rush I have cooked it for less time and it was fine.
I do stir it once or twice while cooking to distribute the butter.
We are a family of 8, so I usually double the recipe for all of us plus enough for hubby’s lunch.
Top with parm. cheese or any shredded cheese, diced green chilies, more salt or spag. sauce.
My Nonie tops hers with Telemea cheese or Havarte Cheese with her homemade sauce.

If you can find a great french onion soup recipe, you can substitute the beef broth for mushroom broth. It works out wonderfully and still gives it that hearty taste.

There’s a cookbook called “Vegetarian Slow Cooker”. Check your local public library. It was pretty popular when it first came out and I bet if your library doesn’t have it they can get it off interlibrary loan. If you love the book you can get a used copy off the internet for under $10.

No great help with a vegetarian soup with cubes. Ideal for people who do not eat vegetables, eat meat.

Not all of these are vegetarian but there are quite a few. Very lovely woman and some great recipes!

Have you tried the website http://www.vegetariantimes.com ? They have lots of recipes on their website. Do you ever use tvp(textured vegetable protien) in place of meat? It works great in chili, spaghetti sauce, etc.

if you like vegetarian stews, use a some vegetables that are very moist - like onions, tomatoes and apples - along with sliced cabbage, potatoes, carrots, beans, etc - i don’t cook with salt so i use a lot of garlic, onion and spices like curry, lemon pepper, etc. if you want it juicier, you can add tomato, V8, apple juice or whatever you have/like - the different combinations are really tasty!

I have found a great cookbook called “Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker”. It’s by Robin Robertson. It has some 200 recipes and they have giving me ideas for more.
