4 ounces sliced mushrooms (I used shiitake)
1 medium tomato
1 large sweet onion
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp garlic powder or 2 Tbsp chopped fresh garlic
2 bay leaves
4 cups vegetable broth
1 cup water
2 Tbsp Italian Herbs
1 potato, diced
1/3 cup nutritional yeast or 1/4 cup vegan cheese
1 cup dry fusilli pasta
1/3 cup leftover roasted tomato salsa
2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
1/4 tsp salt (or to taste)
1 can of beans, drained (I used white cannellini beans)
6 ounces leafy greens (spinach, kale, chard, collard..)
optional: a few dashes of cayenne for added heat.
Directions:
1. In a large soup pot, add the onions, tomato, mushrooms, garlic and olive oil. Stir and saute for about 5 minutes, until the onions become translucent.
2. Add in all the remaining ingredients (except the beans and leafy greens). Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cover with lid. Allow to simmer for 20 minutes. Do a few taste tests midway through and check on the salt/spice levels.
3. When you are just about ready to serve the soup, you can add in the beans and greens. Adding the last keeps them tender and not mushy. If you want your greens a bit more hearty, use kale or collard. Spinach wilts very easily.
4. Serve warm! With a nice slice of crusty bread.
