Creamy Tempeh Tomato Soup
Savory, soothing tomato soup gets a protein kick by adding tempeh, a fermented soy product with a firm and meaty texture. Some people do not care for the squishy texture of regular tofu but they prefer tempeh instead. A product that crumbles directly into this soup and cooks along with it, tempeh adds the unexpected benefit of probiotics and protein to a classic dish. With plenty of flavorful herbs and spices, consider this tomato soup when you need a simple, healthy dish. When pureed together, the ingredients in Creamy Tempeh Tomato Soup create a thick, flavorful dish. Best of all, cooked tomatoes offer a heart-healthy punch of the antioxidant lycopene!
