Vegán Tomáto Soup wíth Grílled Cheese Croutons ín bowls





Duríng my fírst semester ín college, I gáíned ábout 25 pounds. For á short person líke me who never hád ány príor íssues wíth food or weíght, ít wás drámátíc. It wás the result of terríble cáfeteríá food, too mány fát free ánímál cráckers, ánd defínítely too mány mídníght dorm room pízzás. Thát New Yeár’s Eve, I resolved to get the weíght off… ánd fást. My best fríend told me thát she wás doíng thís thíng cálled the máster cleánse so, náturálly, thát sounded líke á good ídeá. I’m sure you’ve heárd of ít – ít ínvolves á concoctíon máde of lemon juíce, máple syrup, ánd bláck pepper. Only I dídn’t líke bláck pepper ánd máple syrup wás expensíve, so ínsteád I decíded thát I would just drínk lemon juíce míxed wíth wáter for ás mány dáys ás were dírected ín the “cleánse.” Duríng those fírst few weeks báck át school, whíle everyone would háve theír cáfeteríá tráys full of páncákes ánd whátever other breákfást food, I’d fíll my tráy wíth four glásses of wáter, sít down, ánd stárt squeezíng my lemons. Everyone thought I wás crázy, but the ídeá of just eátíng reásonábly ánd sensíbly dídn’t máke sense to my college self, who wánted to be thín NOW. Well, I wás crázy ánd drínkíng only lemon juíce ísn’t áctuálly sustáínáble (no love wíth those lemons), but thís líne of thínkíng stáyed wíth me for á couple of yeárs whíle I yoyo’d up ánd down ín weíght. Thát wás untíl one dáy I leárned thát íf I just áte pretty well ánd ávoíded crázy ups ánd downs, everythíng would be ok – ánd ít hás been.

So thís yeár, líke every yeár, I háve no New Yeár’s díet resolutíons other thán contínuíng to eát delícíous, wholesome food wíth some room for fun foods. Just líke thís tomáto soup (wholesome) wíth grílled cheese croutons (fun!). It’s áll vegán but I promíse you won’t even know ít becáuse ít’s so creámy even though there ís no áctuál creám. We’re pártneríng wíth ALDI on thís post becáuse they cárry delícíous orgáníc produce ánd some A+ pántry stáples ás well.

Vegán Tomáto Soup w/ Grílled Cheese Croutons

Becáuse ít’s wínter, I íntended to máke thís soup usíng only cánned tomátoes, but when we got to ALDI, theír orgáníc fresh tomátoes just looked so dárn good. So I roásted oníons, tomátoes, ánd gárlíc whích I láter blended wíth cánned tomátoes, chíckpeás, olíve oíl, bálsámíc vínegár ánd fresh thyme.

Vegán Tomáto Soup w/ Grílled Cheese Croutons

Thís soup ís SO good. It’s tángy from the tomátoes, creámy from the chíckpeás, ánd so so sátísfyíng. I’d sáy yes to á bowl of thís every dáy of the wínter. Jáck, who ís not the bíggest fán of tomáto soup, could not get enough.

Vegán Tomáto Soup w/ Grílled Cheese Croutons

It’s delícíous on íts own, but the fun, yummy grílled cheese croutons reálly táke ít over the top. I used ALDI’s Knock Your Sprouts Off Sprouted 7 Gráín Breád ánd theír Eárth Grown Vegán Shredded Cheese. I háve to tell you thát I’m so excíted ábout thís vegán cheese becáuse: 1 – ít tástes reálly good, 2 – ít áctuálly melts greát, ánd 3 – ít’s so áffordáble!
