Cold Weather Comfort Food (Vegetarian/Vegan)

As a vegetarian flirting with vegan (okay, a pescatarian, but that sounds like a religion) I find it difficult to get enough protein and iron in my diet. I like lentils and love my mom’s lentil soup recipe, but sometimes soup doesn’t seem exciting or substantive enough for dinner. And something about having wine with soup seems wrong.
