This recipe is perfect in so many ways!

  1. You can make it with what you likely already have on hand (read: canned goods)
  2. It is ready from start-to-finish in under 30 minutes
  3. It’s super tasty, filling and warming

I first made this soup when I was in college and scrounging as a young vegan on a tight budget and it’s been a staple ever since!
