This delicious vegan vegetable soup uses lots of vegetables in a tasty, light broth, easy to adapt to your personal taste! Suggest adding cooked basmati rice when serving to make a complete meal.
This will need salt and tastes better the second day. Also, cooking and prep time may not be entirely accurate. I invented this soup at 1 am – I’m a college student – but it is delicious.

Directions
-
Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add leeks, celery, red onion, green onion, jalapeno, basil, and rosemary. Cook and stir until vegetables are soft, about 10 minutes. Add cabbage, eggplant, carrots, tofu, and garlic. Add water to cover. Bring soup to a boil uncovered.

Cook’s Note:
I do not measure precisely when I cook, generally, so this recipe is easy to play with, substitute ingredients, or add your own twist. I never measure spices or herbs, so if the amount of basil or rosemary seems too much or too little, go with what you like.
