1 can of vegetable broth


1 can tomato paste


1 can stewed/chopped tomatoes


1 head napa cabbage or green cabbage, shredded


1 yellow onion, sliced


1 leek, sliced


half a bag of fresh spinach, or 1 can of spinach

3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped


1 tsp Chalula, or tabasco sauce


1 to 2 cups red or green lentils (your choice)


1 tbsp olive oil


1.5 to 2 cups water


1 stick rosemary, fresh


2 tbsp Basil, dried or 1 tbsp fresh


2 tbsp Tarragon, dried or 1 tbsp fresh


salt/pepper to taste





In a large pot, heat oil over med heat, and add garlic and let cook for 1 min. Then add onion and leek to pot and cook until slightly brown on the edges. Combine broth, tomatoes, tomato paste, and water together with the onions and leeks. Bring to a boil over high heat then add lentils. Bring to boil again over high heat and add all herbs, chalula/tabasco and salt/pepper to taste, the rosemary stick should be added whole, you will remove when ready to serve. Cover and reduce heat.





Allow to cook for 30 min or until lentils are soft. Then add cabbage and spinach and allow the greens to wilt slightly. Remove rosemary and serve. Goes well with slightly toasted pita bread.





hope you like it, Enjoy!!!!








EDIT: oh wait switch the amounts of dried to fresh herbs. Dried herbs always have a stronger flavor so you need less than you do with fresh, so it would be 1tbsp dried and 2 tbsp fresh. sawwy.Don't you have a wonderful Vegan soup recipe for me :) ?

Broccoli, Carrot and Potato Soup


*3 cups chopped broccoli (fresh or frozen)


*6 potatoes, peeled (optional) and cut into chunks


*2 cups carrots, cut into chunks (about 4 carrots)


*1 red onion, diced


*12 cups water


*4 tbsp vegetable boullion (I like ';Better Than Boullion'; vegetable paste)


*1 tbsp minced garlic


*1 tsp ground black pepper (or to taste)





Instructions


1) Add all veggies to a large pot and cover with water until water is about 2'; above the vegetables. Bring to a rolling boil on high heat, and boil for 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until carrots and potatoes are soft.





2) In a separate large pot, add the water, boullion, pepper and garlic with stovetop on medium heat until boullion is completely dissolved. Sample the broth at this point and add more pepper, garlic or salt to taste.





3) Drain the water from the boiled veggies and pour them into pot with the broth. Simmer for 10 minutes on medium heat to mix the flavors.





4) Take out half the soup and put it in the blender. Be sure to get some chunks. Blend briefly until the mixture is mostly smooth. Pour it back into the rest of the soup. (I do this to give it a ';creamy'; texture without having to add any soy milk or whatnot. You can skip it you prefer the big chunks).





Makes about 12 cups. Preparation time is about 30 min.Don't you have a wonderful Vegan soup recipe for me :) ?
