Ingredient Notes

• Tomatoes – In the summer, you can use fresh tomatoes if available. Otherwise, use canned tomatoes that are whole plum or crushed tomatoes as you have.
• Cauliflower – adds creaminess and bulk with only a few extra calories. Cut florets up small so they cook.
• Green onions – or spring onions, add onion flavor without the cooking time associated with onions. Feel free to use onion powder instead.
• Veggie Broth – use homemade or store-bought vegetable broth, but you can swap it with chicken broth if not vegan.
• Balsamic vinegar – the secret ingredient that adds a richness of flavor to the soup. Try not to skip this.
• Seasoning – minced garlic and Italian seasoning add great flavor to this soup. Of course, you can add more or less to your taste and sway Italian seasoning for some dried oregano instead.
• Coconut milk – this is coconut milk from a tin. If you are not vegan, you can use heavy cream instead.
