A Bulgur Vegetable Soup With a Beefy TwistI call this bulgur vegetable soup a beefy soup because I use beef-flavored TVP in addition to the cooked wheat berries to add texture and flavor to this healthy soup.For this recipe, I used canned tomato juice that a friend had given me. They were these huge, 46 fluid ounce-sized cans and they had been staring at me for months, racking me with guilt. Once I use up these cans, I plan to switch to a tablespoon or two of tomato powder and about five and a half cups of water.
Dried vegetables are the next best thing to fresh and have far more nutrients than the canned or even frozen variety. A recent study has even shown that tomato powder protects against prostate cancer.
The IngredientsYou Will Need
To PreparePlace your dry TVP in a large mug or bowl and just cover it with water. Allow it to sit for ten minutes. If you’re using dried, minced onions, refresh them as well by placing them in a cup and just covering them with water. Allow them to stand for about 10 minutes.Then heat the oil in a pot and add the onions and carrots. Cook for several minutes until they are browned. Put the onions, carrots and oil into a crockpot and then add all the other ingredients. Allow this to slow cook all day on low. Or you can set your crock pot on high and cook it for about five hours. This bulgur vegetable soup recipe made enough to feed my family of five with leftovers for the next day.
