Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 onions, finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 leeks, chopped
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 slices celery root/celeriac, about finger thick
  • 2 cans white beans, drained
  • 2 cans diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 8 cups vegetable stock
  • 200 g freekeh, cracked (or TVP)
  • 2 Tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 tsp marjoram
  • 2 tsp oregano
  • 2 bunch parsley, chopped
  • 1 tsp celery salt
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 4 tsp paprika powder, sweet
  • 1 tsp smoked salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Start by grounding the freekeh using a high-speed blender on pulse mode.
  2. Pour the cracked freekeh into vegetable broth. If using TVP, submerge it in enough vegetable broth to cover.
  3. Let both soak overnight for optimal texture.
  4. Finely dice the onions and mince the garlic.
  5. In a large pot, sauté them over medium heat with a splash of water to prevent burning until softened.
  6. Chop leeks, carrots, and celery root finely using your chopper or knife.
  7. Add these vegetables to the pot with onions and garlic, letting them sauté briefly until fragrant.
  8. Add all remaining ingredients—white beans, diced tomatoes, vegetable stock, soaked freekeh (or TVP), tomato paste, marjoram, oregano, parsley, celery salt, onion powder, paprika powder, and smoked salt if desired—into the pot.
  9. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
  10. Cover the pot and let the soup simmer on medium heat for about 20 minutes until everything is heated through and flavors meld together.
  11. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.
  12. Once cooked, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
