21-day Vegan Challenge (Day 11) - Seitan Vegetable Soup

Making seitan from scratch is fairly easy and requires no extra effort. Simply let gluten sit overnight in water and then let the whole thing cook for about 40 minutes (a more detailed and focused recipe can be found here). Once done, you will end up with a lovely piece of energetic seitan. Similarly to boiling potatoes, the water seitan has been cooked in does contain all the nutrition, let alone the amazing taste.
And as I always have hard time throwing away the water veggies or seitan has been cooked in, a simple clear soup is a must when cooking these.

Here is a simple recipe for a delish:

SEITAN VEGETABLE SOUP:
A few slices Seitan5 Brussels sprouts1 cup Seitan water (or vegetable broth)3 dried wood-ear mushrooms3 inches leeks1 onion1 garlic cloveSoy sauce to taste
Cook everything together until the mushrooms and onion is soft. Adjust the taste with soy sauce and enjoy.

Easy as that, another vegan day has passed leaving me full of energy and happiness :-)
