Broth and seitan, the perfect combination: low in carbohydrates and high in protein

Seitan is a perfect partner for broth. This combination makes for a delicious, low-carb, high-protein meal. And when you make the broth yourself, you can make sure that only good things go into it! When you make a broth, use a mix of vegetables, and make sure they can fully release their flavours. Onion or leek for example have tons of flavour, so try to include them when you’re making your broth. If you have some leftover vegetables from earlier in the week, these are great to add to your broth – you’ll never have to throw away vegetables again.
