A Note from Feedfeed

This good for the soul soup is packed with loads of vegetables and beans, making it filling without the guilt. It's also gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan. Soy milk is added at the end to give it a creamy texture. Serve with your favorite toppings, crusty bread, and a fresh squeeze of lemon to brighten it up.
