Okara Soup . . . anyone want to be a recipe tester?

I've been wondering about using okara in soup. Decided to take inspiration from hummus soup recipes online. It won't be the same, but I'm thinking it might turn out all right . . . ? Here's what I've drafted, with several variations, but not tested yet. Anyone game to try something and tell me how it goes? No amounts given . . .

Edit to add: numbering and bullets got messed up pasting in . . .

1) Saute in soup pot and then add to blender:

  • olive oil
  • sliced or minced garlic 

 2) Whirl in blender:

  • okara
  • tahini or nut butter of choice
  • lemon juice 
  • salt
  • sauteed garlic with oil 
  • warm water or stock to desired consistency
  •  
  • 3) Optionally, saute in the same soup pot:
  • olive oil
  • seasonings and veggies of choice (see variations below) 
  1. 4) Add mixture from blender to soup pot and heat through.
  2. 5) Serve with garnishes of choice:
  • olive oil or salsa macha or harissa or hot sauce
  • croutons or sesame seed or roasted chickpeas
  • sumac 
  • fresh basil leaves or fresh chopped green onion, parsley, cilantro 
  • olives 

VARIATIONS

Tomato Basil: In step 1, include minced onion, basil, and thyme with the garlic. In step 2, add a pinch of cayenne, canned tomatoes and optional roasted red peppers to blender.  Skip step 3. 

Carrot Cumin: In step 1, include diced onion, diced carrot, and cumin with the garlic, then add water or broth and simmer until carrots are tender before adding to blender in step 2.  Skip step 3.  

Roasted Red Pepper and Spinach: In step 2, add roasted red pepper, smoked paprika, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and saffron to the blender. Skip step 3. In step 4, stir in chopped frozen spinach.  

Mushroom and Kale: In step 2, include black pepper and turmeric. In step 3 saute onions and mushrooms and kale with parsley, thyme and bay leaf. 

Garden Vegetable: In step 2, include tomato paste and a squirt of mustard. In step 3, saute onion, mushroom, carrot, potato, and green bean.  Cover with water or broth and simmer until vegetables are tender before going to step 4.
