Creamy Tomato Soup (vegan, gluten-free, microwave-friendly)
"Based on Panera Bread's popular Vegetarian Creamy Tomato Soup, this healthy-in-a-hurry version has a short ingredients list and it comes together in 5 minutes. Although it's ridiculously easy and fast to make, flavor isn't sacrificed. The soup has a mild kick and plenty of creaminess. Garnish with cheese, the herbs of your choice, and serve with favorite crackers or croutons for an easy, warm and comforting meal...."
