Ingredient Notes and Substitutions
Please see the RECIPE CARD at the bottom of this post for the complete list of ingredients and measurements with a printable recipe.
Vegan tofu sausages – You can substitute with plant-based chorizo or vegan hot dogs.
White Beans – I used organic cooked beans from a jar, but if you have time and want to cook them from scratch, this is even better. Cannellini or butter beans work equally well in soups.
Round White Rice – I do prefer short-grain rice in soups and stews, but you can use long-grain or brown rice. I soak the rice in bicarbonated soda and then rinse it several times to remove some of the nitrates rice naturally contains.
Spices – Adjust cayenne pepper for heat level; paprika and turmeric can be slightly reduced if preferred. The sausage fried in paprika gives an interesting flavor.
Vegetable Stock – I always go for low-sodium vegetable broth stock.
Fresh Parsley – Feel free to add a handful of fresh greens, such as kale, cabbage, or spinach.
Cooking and Storage Tips
Rinse the rice to clean it and to prevent it from sticking together in the soup.
Add the cooked beans at the end of cooking the soup to prevent them from breaking up.
Soups often taste better the following day. It will last 3 days in the fridge and up to 4 months in the freezer. Great to save for a MEATLESS MONDAY.
