Hi everyone! I threw together a soup this week; it turned out OK but could definitely be improved upon (more spice in the seitan for one thing). Here’s what I did…
Barley Miso Soup (with Seitan and Celery)
Ingredients: 2 cups water ¼ cup barley 1 tablespoon miso paste ¼ cup vital wheat gluten ¼ cup water dash smoked paprika dash pepper 2 stalks celery, diced
Directions: As you bring the water (2 cups), barley, and miso to a boil in a saucepan, combine the vital wheat gluten, water (¼ cup), paprika, and pepper to make the seitan; knead for 5 min and then separate into small pieces and add to the soup, along with the celery. Cover and simmer for about 1 hr, stirring occasionally.
The leftovers the next day were better :)
Here’s Cringer hiding under my bookshelf; I think she must have gotten scared by the vacuum cleaner; she usually claims sanctuary in the kitchen when I’m vacuuming, so I was surprised to find her here when I was done.
And here’s Daisy, who decided to join Leela in the sunshine. That’s about as close as Leela let her get, haha!
