Ever had one of those days where you’re craving something cozy, but your stomach’s throwing a vegan tantrum? Well, buckle up, buttercup, because this Creamy Vegan Tomato Soup is about to become your new best friend—no dairy required, just pure, unadulterated tomato bliss.

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil (or any neutral oil)
  • 1 medium onion, diced (about 1 cup)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced (more if you’re a garlic fiend)
  • 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes (san Marzano for the win)
  • 2 cups vegetable broth (low sodium, so you’re the boss of the salt)
  • 1/2 cup raw cashews, soaked for at least 2 hours (for that creamy dreaminess)
  • 1 tsp dried basil (or fresh if you’re feeling fancy)
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (for a little smoky sass)
  • Salt and pepper to taste (because duh)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering, about 1 minute.
  2. Add diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent any onion tantrums.
  3. Toss in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, just until fragrant—don’t let it burn, or it’ll throw off the whole vibe.
  4. Pour in the crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth, then bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it bubble away for 15 minutes to marry the flavors.
  5. While the soup simmers, drain the soaked cashews and blend them with 1/2 cup of water until smooth. This is your creamy secret weapon.
  6. Stir the cashew cream, dried basil, and smoked paprika into the soup. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then blend the soup with an immersion blender until smooth (or in batches in a regular blender, but be careful—it’s hot!).

Unbelievably creamy and packed with flavor, this soup is like a warm hug in a bowl. Serve it with a sprinkle of fresh basil and a side of crusty bread for dipping—because let’s be real, soup without bread is just sad.

  • 1 large head of cauliflower, chopped into florets (about 6 cups)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (or any neutral oil)
  • 1 medium onion, diced (about 1 cup)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced (about 1 tbsp)
  • 4 cups vegetable broth (low sodium if you’re watching salt)
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
  • 1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
  • ½ tsp black pepper (freshly ground if you’re fancy)
  • ½ tsp turmeric (for that golden glow)
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg (trust us on this one)

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Tip: Don’t rush the onions—they’re the flavor foundation!
  2. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds, just until fragrant. Tip: Burnt garlic is bitter garlic, so keep an eye on it.
  3. Toss in the cauliflower florets, vegetable broth, salt, pepper, turmeric, and nutmeg. Stir to combine.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is fork-tender. Tip: Cover the pot to speed up the process, but stir occasionally.
  5. Remove the pot from heat and blend the soup until smooth using an immersion blender. Alternatively, carefully transfer to a blender in batches. Tip: For extra creaminess, blend a little longer than you think you need to.
  6. Stir in the almond milk until fully incorporated. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Get ready to swoon over this velvety, golden-hued soup that’s packed with flavor and oh-so-satisfying. Serve it with a sprinkle of roasted chickpeas for crunch or a drizzle of chili oil for a spicy kick—because why not?

Vegan Split Pea Soup

Vegan Split Pea Soup

Never underestimate the power of a humble legume to steal the spotlight! This Vegan Split Pea Soup is here to prove that plant-based eating can be hearty, flavorful, and downright fun. Perfect for those chilly evenings when you crave something comforting yet guilt-free.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups dried green split peas (rinsed and picked over)
  • 1 large onion, diced (yellow or white for sweetness)
  • 2 carrots, diced (for a pop of color and sweetness)
  • 2 celery stalks, diced (the unsung hero of flavor)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced (because garlic is life)
  • 6 cups vegetable broth (low sodium if you’re watching salt intake)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (or any neutral oil)
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika (for that smoky depth)
  • 1 bay leaf (don’t forget to fish it out later!)
  • Salt and pepper to taste (start with 1/2 tsp salt, adjust as needed)

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering, about 1 minute.
  2. Add the onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté until the onions are translucent and the veggies soften, about 5 minutes. Tip: Don’t rush this step; it builds the flavor base.
  3. Stir in the garlic and smoked paprika, cooking until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  4. Add the split peas, vegetable broth, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Tip: If the soup gets too thick, add more broth or water.
  5. After 45 minutes, check the peas for tenderness. If they’re soft, remove the bay leaf and season with salt and pepper. Tip: For a smoother texture, blend half the soup and mix it back in.
  6. Serve hot. Just like that, you’ve got a bowl of creamy, dreamy soup that’s packed with flavor and ready to warm your soul. Try topping it with crispy croutons or a drizzle of olive oil for an extra touch of luxury.

Refreshing Vegan Gazpacho

Refreshing Vegan Gazpacho

Just when you thought summer couldn’t get any hotter, here comes a bowl of Refreshing Vegan Gazpacho to save the day—no cape required. This chilled soup is like a superhero in disguise, blending the freshest veggies into a sip-worthy masterpiece that’ll have you forgetting all about the sweltering heat outside.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups ripe tomatoes, chopped (the riper, the better for that sweet, sweet flavor)
  • 1 cucumber, peeled and chopped (because nobody likes a bitter surprise)
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped (for a pop of color and sweetness)
  • 1 small red onion, chopped (soak in cold water for 10 minutes if you’re sensitive to the bite)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (adjust to taste, but don’t be shy—it’s the soul of the dish)
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (or any oil that makes your heart sing)
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar (for that tangy kick)
  • 1 tsp salt (start here, then dance your way to perfection)
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper (freshly ground is the way to go)
  • 1 cup water (to thin it out to your desired consistency)

Instructions

  1. In a large blender, combine the tomatoes, cucumber, red bell pepper, red onion, and garlic. Blend on high until smooth, about 1 minute.
  2. Add the olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper to the blender. Blend again for 30 seconds to incorporate all the flavors.
  3. With the blender running, slowly add the water until the gazpacho reaches your preferred consistency. Tip: It’s easier to add more water later than to fix a too-thin soup.
  4. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Remember, flavors will meld and intensify after chilling.
  5. Transfer the gazpacho to a large bowl or container, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled. Tip: Overnight is even better for flavor development.
  6. Before serving, give the gazpacho a good stir. Tip: If it’s separated a bit, a quick blend or whisk will bring it back to its velvety self.

And there you have it—a gazpacho that’s as vibrant in flavor as it is in color. Serve it in chilled bowls with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of chopped herbs for an extra touch of elegance, or keep it casual with a side of crusty bread for dipping. Either way, this dish is a celebration of summer in every spoonful.

Kickstart your day with a bowl of this Simple Vegan Miso Soup that’s so easy, it practically makes itself while you’re still debating whether to hit snooze. Packed with umami goodness and a sprinkle of humor, it’s the perfect pick-me-up for any time of day.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups water (or vegetable broth for extra flavor)
  • 3 tbsp white miso paste (adjust to taste, because we’re not the boss of you)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for a gluten-free twist)
  • 1 tsp grated ginger (fresh is best, but we won’t tell if you use the jarred stuff)

  • 2 tbsp olive oil (or any oil that’s as neutral as Switzerland)
  • 1 medium onion (diced, tears optional)

Just like that, you’ve got a soup that’s velvety, rich, and bursting with the sweet, smoky essence of roasted red peppers. Serve it with a swirl of coconut milk and a sprinkle of smoked paprika for that extra flair, or dunk in some crusty bread—because soup is just an excuse to eat bread, right?
