Ingredients
4 tablespoons of vegan butter
2 medium yellow onions chopped
6 celery stalks chopped
4 carrots chopped
1 red bell pepper chopped
8 ounce package of chopped mushrooms
2 red potatoes diced
32 ounces of hearty vegetable broth
1 package of seitan cubes
1/2 pound of chopped kale
3 chopped basil leaves
1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes
salt and pepper to taste
In large stew pot saute the butter, onions, celery, bell pepper, mushrooms, and carrots on medium-high heat, stirring as needed. Cook until the veggies are soft. Stir in the vegetable broth, carrots, potatoes, and seitan. Adjust heat as needed to produce a very low simmer. Add chopped kale one handful at a time stirring it in as it wilts. Next, add red pepper flakes, basil, salt and pepper. Cook for a minimum of 30 more minutes. For a richer flavor let slow cook on low heat for longer, say 1 hour. Keep the lid on, keep on very low heat, and check every so often for a stir.
Serve and enjoy the warmth!
