I used to eat a soup called "starvation soup" it was made with...?

Question

Tomato juice or canned tomatoes, cabbage, carrots and celery for seasoning, you added worchestershire sauce. Is that considered a vegitarian soup and does anyone have the recipe?

Answer 1

Hasn't worchestershire sauce got anchovies in it ?

If so, its not veggie.

Answer 2

Worcestershire sauce has anchovies, so it is not vegetarian (vegetarians don't eat ANY animals).  There are a couple of brands of vegan worcestershire sauce, one from Annie's naturals and one called The Wizard (from Edward and Sons).  Your local Whole Foods or natural foods store should carry them.

Answer 3

You can add a lot more to it too and still make it a veggie soup.

You can put either chicken or beef boullon (sp) in it for flavor.

There are tons of vinegars that work great too.  Do not forget the onion and garlic.

Starchy veggies like corn, potatoes or peas work great too.

Do not forget green beans and peppers.

One other idea is at the last minute throw in pieces of apple.  This definitely adds that something extra.

Answer 4

Just use soy sauce in place of worcestershire sauce, and add some onion pepper and garlic to that soup also. If you want to increase the protein just add lentil beens.

BTW: My mom calls that soup Cabbage Soup

Answer 5

Some vegitarians allow some seafood, eggs and cheese.   Some do not. Vegan on the other hand is usually considered at the extreme other end, and won't eat anything that is related to animals.  

To answer your question, I would say it could be considered OK to have worchestershire sauce for some vegiarians, but not all... and completely unacceptable for any vegan.

guessing you are making this for a vegitarian, so i would say you would want to find out for sure what degree this person's views are.

Answer 6

Starvation Soup

Instructions

If you have a pork-bone from the fresh meat, let it boil in water for an hour. Put the pan to cool and take off the fat, and remove the bone. Replace the pan on the fire and throw into it two pounds of Brussels sprouts. Do not add onions to this soup but leeks, and the hearts of cabbage. Pepper and spice to taste. Rub it through a sieve and let it be thick enough to form a thin purée.

Answer 7

most worcestershire sauce has anchovies in it, but there are some vegetarian brands; check your store brand or look in a natural foods store.
