• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 1 lb seitan, chopped
• 1 onion, diced
• 5 cups vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tomatoes, diced
• 3 carrots, diced
• 3 potatoes, chopped
• 2 stalks celery, diced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3⁄4 teaspoon pepper
• 4 tablespoons cornstarch, mixed with 4 tbsp water until smooth

directions

1. Sautee the seitan in a little bit of olive oil first, if you'd like. If you're pressed for time, you don't need to, but it will give the seitan a bit of extra flavor if you do.
2. Place all the ingredients in a crock pot or slow cooker. Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.
