TVP and Recipe Variations to Try
Textured vegetable protein aka TVP and quinoa supercharge this soup with protein. TVP or textured vegetable protein is a plant-based protein made of soy. It comes in soy curls and looks like ground meat. The key to TVP is to cook it in a sauce or use a lot of spices as it absorbs any seasoning or sauce that it is cooked in. This soup makes use of Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce for some umami flavor and basil, oregano, and red pepper flakes for spices. You can also try a bay leaf or paprika if that's what you have. Or for an Asian twist, add coconut milk, tofu cubes, and ginger.
