Yes, you read that right. There’s actually jasmine tea in this soup and let me tell you it tastes absolutely amazing. The light, flowery taste of the jasmine tea creates the most amazing foundation for all the other flavours in the soup.

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 Red Onion Chopped
  • 1 Leek Sliced
  • 2 cloves Garlic Minced
  • 1 tbsp Dried Oregano
  • 1½ cups Vegetable Broth
  • 1 cup Jasmine Tea
  • 5 small Potatoes Diced
  • ½ cup Red Lentils
  • 2 tbsp Tamari
  • 1 tbsp Sweet and Sour Chilli Sauce
  • 1 cup Peas Fresh or Frozen
  • 1½ cups Edamame Beans

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot and add the chopped onions and leeks. Allow them to cook at medium high heat for a few minutes while stirring occasionally. Next, ad the minced garlic and oregano and let them cook for 30 seconds. 
  • Ad the vegetable broth and jasmine tea and turn the heat back up. 
  • Next, ad the red lentils and potatoes and bring to a boil. Once the soup begins to bubble, turn the heat down to medium and let the soup simmer for 10 minutes.
  • After 10 minutes, add edamame beans, green beans and peas. Season with salt, Tamari sauce, sweet and sour chilli sauce and plenty of ground pepper. 
  • Let the soup cook for a few more minutes, until the potatoes are ready. Ad extra water as needed.
  • Serve with a topping of fresh herbs (I like to use fresh mint or cilantro, but fresh basil is also great).
    Enjoy.
