Vegan Sun Dried Tomato Soup

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

With the temperatures dropping, I’m all about the soup! Believe it or not, I once rarely craved soup. After years of never ordering it while dining out, I just lost my infatuation with soup altogether.

 

 

Why was I over soup?

 

 

They typically are made with chicken or beef brother, packed with heavy cream, with loads of additional salt etc. That being said, I just always avoided it. However, once I explored making homemade soups, my entire perception shifted. Soups are just SO EASY to throw together and can be as nutrient dense as you like. When the flavors combine, the veggies are nearly undetectable. So if you have a picky eater, soups are the perf medium to increase your veggie intake. 

 

If there is one ready made food that I’m forever enamored with, it’s sun dried tomatoes! They are great on pizza and pasta, and I just knew that a soup would also be a win. Having made upwards of 40 different soup recipes on EDS, I had to finally explore this concept.. 

 

and the vegan Sun Dried Tomato Soup was born!
