Reddit reviews Twelve Months of Monastery Soups: A Cookbook

Would one that is largely plant based and easy to modify when it isn’t work for you?

Twelve Months of Monastery Soups: A Cookbook https://www.amazon.com/dp/0767901800/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_90BCDb58WTAT9

This soup cookbook, written by a French monk, is designed around the months of the year based on what is in season or what you might have in your pantry at that time of year.

As an example, we have the Tomato Florentine soup almost every week. As an example of a modification, we just leave the Spanish sausage out of the Caldo Gallego and it’s a great soup regardless.

Since we are all a little lazy... Here are links to all of the books in my stack:
Betty Goes Vegan (my mom got this one for my boyfriend - so not strictly mine - in hopes that he would cook for me. I am pressing the tofu right now at his request, so far so good)

Vegan Eats World

Eat Drink & Be Vegan

The 30 Minute Vegan

Thug Kitchen

The Lusty Vegan (my sister bought this one for me)

One-Dish Vegan

Fresh From the Vegan Slow Cooker

Vegan Brunch (second most used, the muffin recipes in here are crazy easy to customize)

Vegan Yum Yum

Twelve Months of Monastery Soups (not blatantly vegan, but almost entirely so)

The New Farm Vegetarian Cookbook (My most used, and longest owned, the best of all. All super simple ingredients, only non-vegan ingredient mentioned is honey on occasion)

I am mostly vegetarian, so I will offer some suggestions.

1. Stir fry rice and vegetables - just make your favorite asian style sauce. I like restaurant style teriyaki or hoisin.
   
   
2. Pretty much anything with potatoes. I like to peel, cube and boil potatoes and then simmer them with sauteed garlic and onions along with a can of Rotel. I'll then throw some cheese on top. You can also try many other versions of potatoes with cooked vegetables and cheese. It's delicious!
   
   
3. Pretty much any kind of italian style pasta can be made vegetarian. I like pesto sauce, butter sage sauce, and the classic marinara.
   
   
4. It's cold outside, so soups are great. Check out 12 months of monastery soups for lots of great vegetarian soup recipes.
   
   
5. When I'm in a hurry, I eat a refried bean and cheese burrito with salsa. I know you said you don't like beans, but I love refried beans and I eat a lot of refried bean and cheese burritos.

My mom has this cookbook and loves it. It looks like they've written a bunch of other ones, as well.

Other than that, I might suggest some wine or beer or other foodstuffs from a local monastery?

If you want variations on that theme.
