Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 carrots, peeled and diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 zucchini, diced
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 1 can canned diced tomatoes (14.5 oz)
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 6 cups vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1.5 cups frozen plant-based burger crumbles
Instructions
Heat a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent.
Stir in the garlic, carrots, celery, and red bell pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.
Add the diced zucchini and cook for another 3 minutes.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, vegetable broth, dried basil, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and vegetables to cook through.
Add the plant-based burger crumbles and baby spinach to the pot. Stir and cook for an additional 5 minutes, until the crumbles are heated through and the spinach has wilted.
Adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper, if needed. Serve hot with crusty bread or crackers on the side.
