Hearty Lentil and TVP Soup
Simmered brown lentils and savory TVP combined in a rich, herb-infused vegetable broth for a protein-packed one-pot lunch that feels deeply satisfying.
INGREDIENTS
1 tsp olive oil
0.5 cup yellow onion
0.5 cup carrot
0.5 cup celery
2 cloves garlic
1 tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp smoked paprika
0.33 cup brown lentils
0.66 cup TVP
3 cups vegetable broth
0.5 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat and sauté the diced onion, carrot, and celery until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
Stir in the minced garlic, tomato paste, dried thyme, and smoked paprika, cooking for one minute to bloom the spices and deepen the flavor.
Pour in the vegetable broth and add the dry brown lentils and TVP, stirring well to ensure everything is submerged.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes until the lentils are tender and the TVP has absorbed the broth.
Season the hearty soup with sea salt and black pepper before ladling into bowls to serve warm.
