"Here is a really good recipe and can be turned into a vegetarian dish by subbing veg broth or water instead of chicken broth I'm not sure if the flavor would be reduced I myself have only made this with chicken broth. Kasha is a grain, it consists of toasted hulled buckwheat groats, you can find it in the grain or cereal isle or in the flour section of your supermarket, make sure you use kasha not buckwheat, the buckwheat doesn't not have the nutty flavor of kasha. Hope you enjoy it! Source: Cooking at a Glance - Vegetables & Grains"

In a medium saucepan combine 1 1/3 cups chicken broth and the kasha, or buckwheat groats and 1 1/2 cups broth or water. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer until all of the liquid is absorbed.

In the meanwhile, in a large skillet melt margarine or butter. Add in broccoli, onion, squash or zucchini, and carrots.
