Ingredients

  • 1 8 oz pack of original tempeh ( sliced)
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
  • 3/4 cup crinkled carrots
  • 1/2 cup sliced red onion (horizontally sliced in round shape)
  • 5 fresh mint leaves
  • 5 fresh basil leaves
  • 1/2 tsp crushed black pepper
  • 1/8 tsp ginger powder
  • Salt as per taste

Instructions

  • Warm a frying pan and grease it with cooking spray. Place the sliced tempeh and cook until golden brown and slightly crispy (keep turning on all sides). Once done keep it aside.
  • In a saucepan boil the vegetable broth and add the rest of the ingredients (except tempeh).
  • Just before serving turn off the flame and add tempeh and garnish with lemon wedges.

Notes

  • Pan seared tempeh an be made ahead of time and refrigerated for about 2-3 weeks.
  • Feel free to make the clear soup and refrigerate for about a week. Just before serving warm up the soup thoroughly and tempeh. Assemble and serve. 
  • I have not seasoned tempeh in this recipe separately because it tastes great when dropped in the soup. However, you may season it with salt while searing it if desired.
