Vegetable Soup With Semolina Dumplings

Looking for a simple and delicious veg soup recipe?? You are at the right place! Check out our new recipe and make it for yourself!

Hi Everyone,

In this post I will show you how to make a super easy and healthy vegetable soup, that will be served with semolina dumplings.

INGREDIENTS:
– 2 medium-sized onions
– 3 medium-sized carrots
– 3 medium-sized parsnips
– 4 celery sticks
– 4 small potatoes
– 1 eggplant
– 2 vegetable stock cubes

PREPARATION:
To start off, chop all your vegetables: fine chop onion carrots, and the rest in cubes. Saute the onions and carrots for a few minutes on high heat and then add the rest of the vegetables to the pot – mix them up and top up with cold water.
Cook the soup on low heat for an hour and a half – add the vegetable stock cubes a few minutes prior to taking it off the hob.

In the meantime let’s prepare the semolina dumplings, the ingredients that you will need are:
– 100g of wheat semolina
– 1,5 tsp of egg replacer
– 1,5 tsp of salt
– 1,5 tsp of pepper
– 1,5 tbsp of nutritional yeast
– 1 tbsp of olive oil

Wisk the egg replacer in a bowl with 3,5 tbsp of water, and after that add the rest of the ingredients and make a dough out of it. Once done, make little dumplings and then cook them in water for 45 minutes.

When your soup is cooked, separate in another pot 1/3 of it and add into the 1/3 of soup the following ingredients:
– 1,5 tsp of salt
– 1,5 tsp of pepper
– 1,5 tbsp of olive oil
– 1,5 tbsp of vegan butter

Now go ahead and blend it – serve it with the dumplings and some fresh parsley & soy cream (this serves 3).

I usually freeze the rest of the soup for another day 🙂

Enjoy!

Vegan Mince – 3 Layered Pie

Today we are doing a nice 3 layer vegan oven-baked dish that consists of a soy mince and veg layer, followed by some ‘cheesiness’ (who doesn’t like that?! 🙂 and finished off with mash potato. Not to forget a sprinkle of breadcrumbs that will create a crunchy crust.#

INGREDIENTS:
– 1 zucchini
– 1/2 eggplant
– 2 medium carrots
– 1 sweet pepper
– 1 leek
– vegan butter
– vegan cheese
– 1 tbsp brown sugar (or just use regular)
– 3 tsp salt
– 2 tsp pepper
– 1 tsp chili flakes (or as spicy as you like it 🙂
– 2 tsp mixed herbs
– 1/3 cup breadcrumbs
– 50g red lentils
– 50g soya mince
– 1 cup passata

PREPARATION:

To start off, did you wash your hands?!? 🙂
Begin with washing your lentils and put them in a pot of cold water with some salt and start cooking them (this will take about 15 minutes).
The next step is to chop your vegetables into small cubes, once that is done, it will probably be time to rinse of those cooked lentils under some cold water.
Afterward, start prepping your sauce by adding your ingredients (salt, pepper, chili, sugar, and herbs) into the passata and mix it all together (for some more flavor, you can always add some olive oil).
Now, preheat your pan and start frying the vegetables (put some salt to take out the water more easily out of them), meanwhile wash of the soya mince. You will also have enough time to cut your leek into rings, once cut, separate them so you can wash it more easily.
It’s time to get back to your veg and add the sauce and a cup of water – cook for about 5 minutes. Afterward, add your lentils and soya mince to the pan and stir it all together. In a few minutes it will all thicken up, but if it is still not up to your satisfaction, add 2 tbsp of milled chia seeds that will for sure do the job!
Before taking it off the stove add the leek and mix it once more.
Now, preheat your oven on a 180°C (360°F) on the FAN option.
At last, take a baking tray and start putting your mince as the first layer, followed by cheese and then mash potato. On the mashed potatoes spread some butter and then sprinkle the bread crumbs on top.
After 15 minutes of baking, it’s time for why we are all here – to serve it and enjoy (or just straight out of the tray, that’s all up to you 😉

Enjoy!!
