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

  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.

  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.

  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!

Substitute water for the vegetable broth if desired.

Use an immersion blender to puree the soup if preferred.
