Seitan is pure, hearty protein, a traditional Japanese ingredient derived from wheat, with more flavor and heft than tofu. It can be richly browned like chicken, in a fraction of the time. The Italian-sausage-style seitan in your box, from Upton’s Naturals, lends richness and spice to this robust (yet quick-cooking) white bean, chard and tomato soup. For balance, a good pinch of ground Aleppo chile, a mild Middle Eastern spice, gives the soup subtle heat.

Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Prep the vegetables

  • Peel and thinly slice the shallot.
  • Coarsely chop the garlic.
  • Strip the leaves from the chard stems, and coarsely chop the leaves and stems, keeping them separate.
  • Pick the parsley and oregano leaves and coarsely chop; discard the stems.

2

Cook the seitan

  • Break the seitan sausage apart into 1-inch chunks.
In a pot over medium heat, warm 1 tablespoon oil until hot but not smoking. Add the seitan sausage and cook, stirring, until browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

3

Make the soup

To the same pot used to cook the seitan, warm 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Add the shallots, garlic, chard stems and as much Aleppo chile as you like. Season with salt. Cook, stirring a few times, until the shallots and chard stems start to soften, 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the tomatoes, vegetable stock, white beans, half of the parsley and oregano, and 2 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Add the chard leaves and seitan sausage and cook until the chard is just wilted and the seitan is heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve

Ladle the soup into individual bowls. Garnish with the remaining parsley and oregano and the shaved parmesan and serve.
