When I was married to Zorinth's dad, who is a vegetarian, I occasionally made vegetable stews that tasted like dishwater, and my response if he complained was always "What this soup needs is a LAMB BONE!"

Marmite helps. Pearl barley and a teaspoon of olive oil can help. I suppose it depends what vegetables it was, too.

I wish I could give you some leftovers. I have some oat and maple and ground hazelnut cookies which are damn near vegan -- that is they could be vegan if I'd made them with vegan marge. And the same goes for the mince pies, come to that, as I did the pastry without the egg yolk. Yeah, I'm not lazy, I did them that way so that you could eat them!
