1 14 oz package Gimme Lean, ground beef style

6 cloves garlic -- minced

1 large yellow onion -- chopped

1 stalk celery -- (with leaves) chopped

4 cups sliced baby carrots

6 cups vegetarian chicken-flavor broth

1/2 6 oz package hickory or savory baked tofu

1/3 cup diced Vegi-Deli " pepperoni "

2 14/5 oz cans Italian-style stewed tomatoes

1 6 oz package baby spinach

1/2 cup mellow white miso

1/4 cup dry vermouth

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried basil

 

Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray baking pan with oil.

 

Roll the Gimme Lean into about 40 small " meatballs " and place them on the

prepared pan. Lightly spray tops with oil. Bake for 5 minutes, then place

under broiler until tops are lightly browned. Set aside.

 

In a 6-quart saucepan, combine garlic, onion, celery, and carrots with the broth

and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring

occasionally. Slice the tofu on an angle and add to the soup with the diced

veggie pepperoni.

 

Place the stewed tomatoes in a food processor and pulse just until chunky. Add

to the soup along with the " meatballs " . Cook for 5 minutes, stirring

occasionally. Add the spinach and simmer 15 minutes.

 

Place the miso in a small bowl and blend with the vermouth. Stir into the soup

and add the thyme and basil. Simmer 5 minutes or just until the soup begins to

bubble. Do not boil.
