Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz small pasta
  • 12 oz vegan ground meat
  • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 small onion minced
  • 3 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 cups vegan shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions
 

  • Add the vegan meat and minced onion to a soup pot. Brown over low-medium heat until the meat is cooked through.
  • Add the tomato paste & all spices, and stir to combine.
  • Add the veggie broth. Bring to a boil, then add the pasta. Lower the heat to a fast simmer & cook for 12-14 minutes or until the pasta is tender and almost all of the liquid is gone.
  • Remove from heat & stir in the vegan cheese. Depending on which brand of vegan cheese you use, you might want to put a lid on the pot for a minute or two to help it melt. Enjoy & share!
