No meat non-vegetarian cooking

Trying to change my diet and support my wife's mostly vegetarian requirements, so I tried a new French Onion Soup with portabella mushrooms. It was good, but the mushrooms did not add anything new: I also cooked Lentils and Red beans: This is simple tasty and full of protein. I know the beef broth, butter and cheese is not vegan, but it makes the soup taste so good! Now if I could just finish off the Christmas cookies without gaining any weight I will be all set.
