Add a photoTempeh, fermented soy beans or grain, makes an interesting alternative to veggie crumbles (or ground beef) in this soup recipe.
It lends a distinct flavor to the soup while also providing protein and fiber, making for a very filling and satisfying meal.
Note: The green beans you see in the photo were an afterthought - just a few leftover green beans I decided to add...however, adding even more fresh green beans wouldn't be a bad idea either!
