How to Make Vegan Avgolemono Soup

  1. In a medium stockpot, combine 6 cups vegetable broth, 1 cup rice, 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast, and 1 tablespoon tamari.
  2. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25 minutes, or until rice is cooked through and tender.
  3. While the rice simmers, whisk together 1 cup soymilk, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, and 1/2 teaspoon turmeric in a small bowl until smooth. Set aside.
  4. After 25 minutes, gently stir the soymilk mixture and pour it into the soup pot.
  5. Stir constantly until the soup thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
  6. Stir in 1/2 cup crumbled cooked seitan, 2 tablespoons vegan margarine, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon lemon zest.
  7. Mix well and taste. Add more lemon juice, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired level of tartness.
  8. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  9. Stir in 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley.
  10. Serve hot, garnished with freshly snipped dill, if desired.
