INGREDIENTS

• 100g/3.5oz (1 cup) shredded seitan, use homemade or store-bought (e.g. Suzy Spoon’s, MeetCo)
• 250ml/8.5oz (1 cup) liquid vegetable stock (reduced salt)
• 100g/3.5oz celery (3/4 cup, chopped)
• 50g/1.8oz sweet potato (1/3 cup, small cubes)

• 50g/1.8oz red onion (1/3 cup, diced)
• 1 bay leaf
• 1/4 tsp dried oregano
• 1/4 tsp paprika powder
• Optional: water (can add some water when simmering to achieve desired soup consistency)

METHOD

1. Prepare/chop all veggies and set aside.
2. If using frozen store-bought seitan, heat it in a non-stick pot as per packet instructions, leave in the pot for step 3. If using homemade seitan add it at step 4.
3. Add onion and garlic to the pot. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes on medium-high heat.
4. Add the sweet potato, celery, shredded seitan (if using homemade), oregano, paprika, stir and cook for about 2 minutes, then add the bay leaf, kale, and liquid stock. Stir, bring to the boil then simmer with lid on for about 10 minutes. (If you prefer a more watery soup, add water at simmering stage.)
5. Remove from heat, take out the bay leaf and serve.
