    Delicious!! I was skeptical at first but it turned out to be delicious! I added a handful of garlic cloves instead of chives and some extra red pepper flakes and it was perfect! For those looking for nutritional yeast, I got mine from Amazon.

    First Off I have no idea what nutritional yeast is nor where to get it so I didn’t use it, second this soup was very good, amazing actually, as a topping i put in zucchini because I didn’t have avocados but I bet the avocados would have made it creamier. It has a surprisingly mellow tastes with a sudden kick with sweetness that lingers at the end, the red pepper flakes give it some heat which should not be skipped on just adds to the flavor, there is a slight creaminess to the texture which is also included to the taste. I really loved this one.






  3. Does it taste as good as a warm soup for winter or does it lose flavor with heating?

    1. Julie | The Simple Veganista says:

      Great question! You can serve this warm too, just gently warm it over low heat. It will be delicious!

  4. Making this tonight…not adding nutritional yeast because it isn’t sold here. Is it really necessary? Guess I will find out.

    1. Julie | The Simple Veganista says:

      No need to add nutritional yeast, will still be great! Let me know how it went. Enjoy :)

  5. Hello,

    This looks delicious! Do you have a thought on what would create a similar flavor, instead of using nutritional yeast?

    Thanks much!

    1. Julie | The Simple Veganista says:

      You could try marmite. I’ve never tried it myself, but I’ve read that many don’t think it’s quite as flavorful as nutritional yeast.

    1. Julie | The Simple Veganista says:

      I’m not sure if this will freeze well or not. I haven’t tried it with this recipe but I think it might do well. Would love to know how it goes if you end up freezing some. Cheers :)

  6. This looks perfect for me. The blend of spices, fresh pepper, yum! I love simple soups and then freezing half to have ready to go on those days you need a quick but healthy meal. Really love this one!

    1. I love these simple style soups too, so easy and good! Freezing is a great idea too, I'll have to double up and freeze some of this next time I make it. :)
