Soothing and simple, start with a flavorful homemade broth, vegan or with bones for a nutritional boost. For a complete simple meal, add flavorful baked tofu or chunks of chicken for extra protein. Starting with cooked rice is what makes this dish come together in 20 minutes.

  • 1 onion, small, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon herbs de provence, or more to taste
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1 lemon, cut in half

In a soup pot over high heat add in the broth, onion, herbs de provence, and garlic. Bring up to a boil for 10 minutes.
