Effortless Vegan Goulash Soup (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme.
02 - 1 teaspoon dried marjoram.
03 - 1 teaspoon whole caraway seeds.
04 - 2.5 teaspoons yeast extract (or swap for 3 teaspoons dark miso paste).
05 - 100g red bell pepper.
06 - 150g peeled carrots.
07 - 350g starchy potatoes.
08 - 300ml sweet vegan white wine.
09 - 150g dried soy chunks.
10 - 4 tablespoons sweet paprika powder.
11 - 3 tablespoons mild paprika paste.
12 - 3 tablespoons double concentrated tomato paste.
13 - 4 peeled fresh garlic cloves.
14 - 3 teaspoons fine sea salt.
15 - 4 tablespoons buttery-tasting canola oil.
16 - 500g yellow onions, diced really small.

# Instructions:

01 - Cover the pot and let the soup bubble for 40 minutes on medium heat. Take off the lid and let it simmer another 20 minutes to thicken it up.
02 - Mash the caraway seeds with a mortar, then add in the marjoram and thyme, stirring it all into the soup.
03 - Dice potatoes, carrots, and red pepper into chunky pieces about 2 cm wide. Drop all that plus yeast extract into your soup.
04 - Toss the dry soy chunks right into the pot. Pour in the vegan white wine, then add 1.75 liters of water and bring everything up to a boil.
05 - Chop up the garlic, add it with the leftover oil, tomato and paprika pastes, and cook briefly. Stir in the paprika powder and let it toast up.
06 - Heat up your pot, pour in 3 tablespoons of the oil, and add the onions. Keep 'em on medium heat for around 15 to 20 minutes till golden brown, then toss in a teaspoon of salt.
07 - Grab a grater or food processor to break those onions down real fine.

# Notes:

01 - It's great for meal prep and freezes well.
02 - A splash of red wine will make the soup taste bolder and look richer.
03 - You can find yeast extract at a health food store or pick up Marmite at the grocery.
