Prep Time
10 min
Broth
  1. 4 c. Water
  2. 3/4 t. Celery salt
  3. 2 tsp. Vegetarian chicken seasoning **
  4. (can add more to taste just before serving if needed)
  5. 1/4 t. Garlic salt
  6. 1 lg. Onion finely chopped (or 3 T. dry minced onion)
  7. 2 T. Nutritional yeast flakes
Add to broth
  1. Add 2 c. of precooked garbanzos( 1 regular size can with broth)
  2. 1 cup of 100% whole wheat bowtie pasta
  3. OR
  4. the homemade dumplings below
Homemade Dumplings
  1. 1 c. Whole white wheat flour (1/2 can be unbleached white, if you wish)
  2. 1 t. salt
  3. 1/4 c. Cold water ( little more if using all whole wheat)
  4. 3 T. light olive oil
Instructions
  1. Bring broth to a rolling boil.
  2. Add garbanzos.
  3. Add pasta OR the Dumplings below.
  4. Simmer together for 45 minutes if using dumplings, 30 minutes if using pasta.
  5. Add water if a thinner soup is desired.
  6. Adjust salt to taste by adding more chicken style seasoning if needed.
Dumplings
  1. Whip water and oil together.
  2. Pour over dry ingredients, mixing lightly with fork.
  3. Form into a ball and roll out to 1/4" thick or less.
  4. Cut into 1"x2" strips and drop into boiling broth.
Notes
  1. If you are in a hurry, the pasta easily replaces the dumplings. But be sure and try the dumplings sometime - I think they are so much tastier than the pasta and do add more bulk/heartiness to the dish.

Asian Almond Ginger Sauce

Asian Almond Ginger Sauce

By popular demand

Just to explain how I came to post this recipe –

I have an Instagram account where I post most of my food photos – if you want to know what I actually eat from time to time, that’s the place to follow me 🙂 The account is @plantbasedmove. Well, the other day I posted this photo of fresh spring rolls with an almond ginger sauce and several people asked for the recipe. So here is the sauce recipe. In case you were wondering, the spring roll is just rice paper (you can now find brown rice paper – YaY!) dipped in warm water just until softened. Lay it on your plate and fill with a veggies, here’s what I used: a few mung bean threads tossed with a few drops of roasted sesame seed oil, sliced avocado, grated carrot, toasted tofu (cut extra firm tofu into long strips, marinated in Bragg’s Aminos, put on parchment paper in the oven at 375 degrees for about 30 minutes until crispy on the outside, turning several times), fresh cilantro and basil leaves. You could also add mushrooms, mung bean sprouts, or grated jicama.
