8. Make a strictly vegetarian soup for fufu.

Most of the dishes mentioned can be cooked just ordinarily using only vegetable stock cubes. You can use mushrooms or/and Tofu as proteins.

PS: Watch your seasoning/spices, some of them have meat and fish content. Making a meal for a vegetarian that doesn't eat seafood at all, crayfish will be totally out of it. Watch out for boullion cubes like Knorr etc. Don't make a salad then add mayo/cream.
