2 ripe tomatoes, diced
1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
1 clove of garlic, finely chopped

1 teaspoon lime juice (lemon works too)
1/2 teaspoon oregano

1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
Suggested toppings: lettuce, green onion, olives, plain soy yogurt or vegan sour cream
Directions:Bring vegetable broth to a boil, remove from heat and add soy protein chunks. Add a couple dashes of oregano, thyme and marjoram. Soak until the chunks are soft and liquid absorbed.
In a medium sized saucepan heat oil over medium heat. Add onion, garlic and jalapeno and saute until softened. Add textured soy protein, tomatoes, lime juice and spices.
