vegan lemon rice greek soup (Avgolemono Soupa)

Ingredients: Yields 2
A) For homemade vegetable broth:
1 medium carrot
2 celery stalks
2 cloves garlic
1/4 onion
2 cups water
spices- whatever you feel like (rosemary, oregano, basil, pepper, thyme)

B) For soup:
1 cup rice or orzo
1 tbsp miso (any color)
1 tbsp tahini
2 lemons (juice)

C) For soup bowl
2 tbsp nutritional yeast
handful of kale

Directions:
Put all broth ingredients in a pot, simmer for 20 min. Drain broth into other pot, keep veggies for either soup or broth for another dish.

Then add rice, bring broth to a boil, then let simmer. You may need to add more water. You want the rice to be cooked, but still have water remaining because it's a soup!

In a small bowl, stir together the miso, tahini and lemons.

Add the small bowl ingredients into soup during the last 5 min of cooking.

Fill your soup bowl with a handful of kale and sprinkle on nutritional yeast.
Pour the soup over.

Enjoy!!!!
