Creamy vegan tomato soup
Few foods give the cozy comfort of a bowl of creamy vegan tomato soup with a non-dairy grilled cheese sandwich for dipping. This full-bodied soup has a wonderful depth of flavor from the addition of sun-dried tomatoes. Add a handful of homemade vegan croutons and a drizzle of sun-dried tomato oil on top just before serving.

*Instead of a bouillon cube, you can use 1 teaspoon Better Than Bouillon no chicken base.
If you'd rather use broth, omit the bouillon, and replace the ½ cup water with broth.
