I 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.
