Spring is coming, but it’s still cozy soup weather in Finland. We’re having vegan goulash, but not exactly the traditional Hungarian version. This is rather a goulash targeted at the picky eaters of the family featuring noodles and a new delicious smokey BBQ flavored oat and bean based vegan protein.
Goulash veganized!
Goulash is super easy to veganize. The base is all vegan: onions, bell peppers, carrots, tomatoes (I used canned crushed ones) and lots of paprika powder. I use a mild paprika powder so this is not a very spicy nor hot dish.
In a traditional goulash meat is cooked in the the thick broth but in my vegan goulash I add protein last. That’s because the protein I’m using, Delikaura™, is ready-to-use straight from the package. I use a smokey BBQ flavor, which tastes very “meaty” in the goulash.
Goulash noodle soup
One thing I always add to my soups is noodles. Adding noodles is a way to make dishes familiar so that my kids are more likely to eat them. So this goulash is also a pasta soup, a hearty and comforting pasta soup.
It’s also very budget-friendly made with inexpensive ingredients and nothing fancy is required. You might even have all the ingredients in your pantry already.
Well, except Delikaura™, because unfortunately this amazing vegan protein is currently only available in Finland. I made the Finnish vegan goulash post in collaboration with Gold & Green Foods, the inventor of Pulled oats® and this new delicious Delikaura™ (translation: Deli oats 🙂 ). I hope some day soon this healthy vegan protein is available all around the world.
Happy healthy weekend!
