Some vegetarians eat eggs and dairy products. But if you don't want to use chicken use vegetable broth. That is the difference between vegetarinas and vegans.

I don't think the person who put these recipes together knows what a vegetarian is. Egg noodles, cheese, cream... these are not vegetarian ingredients. Nearly all the recipes have cheese in them!
