Summary

A cozy, tomato-rich Italian soup loaded with hearty pasta, aromatic herbs, and tender vegetables, boosted with vegan sausage for satisfying, high-protein comfort. Each spoonful is savory, warming, and deeply nourishing.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat olive oil (or a splash of broth) in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, celery, and carrots; cook until softened, 5–6 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add garlic and sauté 1 minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Stir in vegan sausage or ground crumbles; cook until lightly browned, breaking apart with a spoon.

  4. 4

    Add tomato paste and cook 1–2 minutes to caramelize. Stir in diced tomatoes, dried oregano, dried thyme, dried basil, and red pepper flakes (if using).

  5. 5

    Pour in vegetable broth and bring to a simmer; cook about 15 minutes to meld flavors.

  6. 6

    Add brami (lupini) pasta directly to the pot; simmer until al dente, about 8–10 minutes. (Alternatively, cook pasta separately and add before serving.)

  7. 7

    Stir in chopped kale; simmer 2–3 minutes until wilted.

  8. 8

    Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil or parsley and vegan parmesan, if desired.
