love love love a pot of soup that requires minimal ingredients and no hassle! also, this is a great soup in terms of versatility because you don’t have to use the same veggies or greens that i did.
while i used zucchini and cauliflower rice, you could totally choose some other veggies!
ok sooooo see those crouton- like toppings? those are trader joe’s new (I think new?) plantain croutons are they are SO GOOD!
they’re perfectly garlicky and i could not resist placing them atop the soup. whether you use those, another crouton or something else, a crunchy component is necessary in my opinion.
also, i did add some vegan cream cheese to the top- my fave, Monty’s! if you’re going to get Monty’s, i totally recommend the everything cream cheese and that’s what i used here.
cream cheese just adds a creamy component rather than much more flavor, but i think it’s a must here. if you don’t have any vegan cream cheese, thick vegan yogurt, sour cream or full fat coconut milk would work.
ah, the color is such a gorgeous and vibrant mustard yellow! unsweetened plain almond milk gives it a semi-creamy texture and pretty color!
i did use a few spices and they just merry so well together. for this recipe, i used cumin, turmeric, onion powder, garlic powder and a dash of cinnamon!
the turmeric gives it the yellow color and the cinnamon is just the ultimate flavor addition. you just need the tiniest bit, a dash and no more. you can’t taste the cinnamon but it totally alters the flavor in the best way.
you should be able to find all of those items at just about every grocery store! you can use any vegan cream that you would like by the way. Monty’s is my favorite but any will do!
