Veggie Soup with Seitan | Vegan-In

By JuanitaH

As I had warned, here come the soups.  This one was super delicious.  I kind of made up the recipe to go along with the veggies I had on hand so you could easily substitute if you have something else in your pantry.  This recipe does require you to make or purchase seitan.  I recommend making it.  I have eaten the pre-made kind and I don’t think it is anywhere near as tasty as when you make it yourself. All you need is wheat gluten flour, some water, a cube or 2 of bullion, and seasonings.  You can find my recipe for seitan

Ingredients

• 4 Celery stalks, diced
• 5 Carrots, sliced

• 1 tsp Sea Salt
• 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
• 1-2 Tbsp Earth Balance Butter, for sauté
