Green Vegan Stew

Green Vegan Stew

This is the kind of soup to make when you find yourself with too many greens and need a vitamin-packed alternative to yet another salad. We ate the stew plain with crusty bread as well as served over rice, and enjoyed it both ways.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 8 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup lentils
  • 2 cups chopped Russian kale, or more to taste
  • 2 cups chopped Swiss chard, or more to taste
  • 2 cups chopped mustard greens, or more to taste
  • ½ cup nutritional yeast
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons thyme
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • salt to taste

Directions

Step 1
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir onion until soft, about 3 minutes. Pour in vegetable broth. Increase heat to high and bring broth to a boil. Add lentils. Reduce heat to medium and cook until soft, about 45 minutes.

Step 2
Stir kale, Swiss chard, and mustard greens into the broth; simmer until tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in nutritional yeast, garlic powder, thyme, pepper, and salt. Let soup cool, about 10 minutes.

Step 3
Transfer soup to a blender; puree until smooth. Pour back into the pot and reheat, about 5 minutes.

Cook’s Note:

It would be interesting to try this recipe with various mixtures of greens. This was an interesting combination; I made it with fingers crossed, but it turned out great!
