GF Vegan Tuscan Bread Soup

September 29, 2022
I believe this recipe was made to use up leftovers and stale bread, but it's amazing!

If you ever wonder what to do with your leftovers and dry bread pieces, this soup will be your savior. If you use canned ingredients, it's even super quick so you can make a big batch for food prep and keep it in the fridge in boxes.

I also love that you can make it with different ingredients, depending what you have at home. This time I used frozen spinach, but I made it before with kale. I used two types of canned beans but it's heavenly with chickpeas, too. You can make it less or more tomato-y if you add more canned tomato to the soup or coconut cream, or just keep it simple with veggie stock. I had about a portion left from the garlic cream soup I made before, so that went in as well. Perfect harmony in flavors.

Directions

1. Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the margarine and olive oil. Stir to combine and add in the onion, garlic, salt, pepper and pepper flakes. Sauté until the onions soften, about 5 minutes.

3. Add veggie stock, tomatoes and tomato paste, stirring until tomato paste is dissolved in the veggie stock.

4. Mix in smoked paprika powder and bread chunks. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce it to a simmer, add in the two types of beans and vegan parmesan. Stir well.

5. When the soup is finished, the bread will be disintegrated into the soup. Add salt and pepper to taste.

6. About 5 minutes before serving stir in spinach into the soup. If you use frozen, make sure it is all warmed through.
