This was a modification of http://www.allthecooks.com/homemade-tomato-soup.htmlI made this on a whim to accompany some grilled cheese sandwiches my partner was making, using stuff we had at home. As I hadn't planned on making it, I had to make some substitutions. Notably, instead of milk I used a can of coconut milk. The tomatoes are two cans that we happened to have.By substituting the butter with margarine, this soup is easily vegan, so I've placed it in the vegan category as well.At our house, we keep a super smoky salt next to our regular cooking salt. In particular, we use a very strong black smoked salt (the brand we use is called Bonfire).If you're unfamiliar with MSG, it's a wonderful way to add a rich umami taste to things. Use it like you'd use salt: seasoning to taste. Unfortunately MSG gets a bad rap due to historical reasons, but there is no real science behind people's aversion to it.

A thick and hearty soup which is great when served with hot crusty bread

HEALTHY CLEANSE

This is an experimental recipe I did, the kind where you have no idea if it'll taste nice or not but it actually came out tasting pretty nice. You can omit the lot of the optional ingredients and it'll still taste pretty nice.

A cheap and cheerful soup for cold winter nights, the garlic also boosts your immune system to keep you healthy.

This is a very easy recipe. It takes quite a bit of time but it is well worth it.

The best homemade tomato soup. Very easy and mostly hands off. Perfect to have with a grilled cheese.

I was looking for a creamy soup for our annual Widows Christmas Luncheon. This was a big hit!

One of my spring/summertime favourites :) simply fresh :)
