Neatloaf --- (Vegetarian "fake" Meatloaf)

This a VERY similar recipe (that I found online) to the Neatloaf served at Sri Chinmoy restaurants around the country. It is so good. It is my fav. thing at the restaurant. You can eat it alone or on a sandwich with tomatoes and lettuce, etc.) ENJOY! NOTE**** not sure if Lipton onion soup mix is veggie but you can also use any other veggie dry soup mix that doesn't have beef bouillon - check at your grocery store for vegetarian dry soup mixes - OR try one of these recipezaar recipes for onion soup mix substituting beef bouillon with vegetable bouillon #186221 or #24952 (FYI - After I posted this another Zaar member (thanks philocrates) - wrote to let me know that Lipton Onion Soup is vegan after all - http://www.petakids.com/accvegan.html)
