I'm going to try adding a bag of frozen chopped spinach to this. This is a perfect soup for a cold winter night.

Life is an adventure, to be intelligently, cautiously approached with reckless abandon!

I have made this soup countless times since finding it last year. I'm not vegan quite yet, so I can compare it to a cream based soup and honestly, you can't taste a difference at all. I was worried it would taste like soy milk, but it doesn't. It's very easy and tastes great re-heated the next day. Thanks for the fantastic recipe!

I am 2 days shy of completing a detox program. My plan is to overhaul my entire eating plan, and the selected route is vegan. THIS will be the first dish I make.
