Tomato Basil Soup

This simple soup includes some vegan superpowers in the form of nutritional yeast and cashews. Nutritional yeast is an inactive yeast that adds a cheesy flavor (think of it like a parmesan cheese substitute). Not only does it add flavor, it is a good source of vitamin B12.

1 TBSP EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL
7 CUPS CANNED TOMATOES
3 CLOVES GARLIC, MINCED
1 ONION CHOPPED
1 CUP BASIL
½ CUP CASHEWS
3 TBSP NUTRITIONAL YEAST

STEP 3:

STEP 4:
Return to saucepan, add salt and pepper. Cook until heated through.

STEP 5:
Serve with a piece of whole wheat bread or toast.
