Tips and Variations
Eat it cold - If you’re into cold soups like gazpacho, this vegan soup is delicious when it’s chilled as well. This makes it great for brunches, lunches, or even a picnic!
Make it spicy - If you would like to give your soup a little kick, add some crushed red peppers, or a little smoked paprika.
Use other onions - Use any type of onion you have on hand. Red, yellow, or white onions will all work just fine.
Add ginger - Try adding in a bit of fresh ginger for an extra dose of flavor! It's a totally delicious variation.
Use roasted carrots - Instead of boiling your carrots, you can also opt to roast them until soft. This will change up the flavor a bit, making it a touch richer.
