Vegetarian main dish recipes wanted!

[kelliem]

I have a vegetarian* friend coming out to visit in a couple of weeks, and I'm looking for some 'tried and true' vegetarian entree recipes since kidunit and I are in main carnivores and most of my entree recipes contain meat. I could go look up vegetarian entrees on foodnetwork.com or epicurious.com but what I want are your recipes, ones you've made a zillion times and love and would like to share. So please comment to this post with your favorite vegetarian recipe.

Thank you all!

*ETA: Specifically looking for ovo-lacto style recipes-- eggs and dairy are okay but not meat or seafood.

easy soup

[claire.livejournal.com]

3 packs of frozen butternut squash (a mix of puree and chunks if you can find it)
1 onion
1 can coconut milk
1 can vegetable broth.
vegetable oil
curry powder.

Dice the onions and cook with the oil until translucent and soft and yummy.
Add broth and frozen squash (I try to use 2 packs pureed and 1 pack chunks - also fresh is fine as is canned pumpkin)
Cook until you think it looks doneish. Add can of coconut milk and lost of curry powder
Cook some more.
Eat with lots of yummy fresh bread.

Oh wow, that sounds great. I love curries and soups and this is the best of both worlds. :D
